Default won't install/uninstall "an older version of limewire....."

I am trying to unintall limewire from my computer. I did the "uninstall" and I thought I did so since the limewire icon automatically deleted, but to check I tried to reinstall it. Sure enough, i got an error message when reinstalling saying "an older version of limewire appears to be running. You must exit the old version before continuing with installation".

I checked all my programs but there is no other Limewire installed. I need your help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, I have a new laptop with Vista.

Control-alt-del & kill anything that says Limewire on the list. Then try installing again. BTW I would recommend the "Offline" LW installer which is 2nd on the list of windows LW options (non prefered one). After downloading it then install it.
