Your LW version is quite old.

I'd suggest:

1. Use your add/remove programs control panel to remove ALL Java versions.

2. Run this utility: Crap Cleaner

3. Download & install the OFFLINE Java version: Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

4. If LW still won't open properly, then (a) Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.), __ (b) download & install the OFFLINE version of LW: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

5. If still problems, check 'other' options here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link) such as compatibility mode.
