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.
