Default Help!! (firewall/loopback connection)

I can't start my limewire. It says its due to either a firewall program or loopback connections. If it is due to a firewall tell me how to disable it and if its due to the loopback connections tell me how to fix the connection.

Try these fixes first...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...
