Ok... Try a different Java...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

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

For some reason the lw preference folder does not exist under documents and settings. lw did not create this folder when installed. What should I do because I've reinstalled lw twice and the folder is not being created.

Hi i was using limewire beta version 4.13 with no problems and now i just download 4.14.2 and it wont even connect to the network. I am using windows vista ultimate (32bit) i have 1G Ram core duo processor with each core at 1.66, my firewall program is zonealarm (witch i have allowed liwewire from it) my internet connection is dsl (from a usb modem)... Oh and i just checked the running processes on the task manager and it has 3 processes of limewire running even though i have shut done the program(Its not running minimized and its not on the toolbar at the notification area next to the clock) So can someone plz tell me why the beta version 4.13 had no problems and now 4.14.2 wont even connect to the network? I have included a picture that shows 3 processes of limewire running even though the program has been closed. P.S. i dont have a virus just in case anyone thinks this is why its happening, because i just formated my pc and re-installed windows. Oh and my version of java is 6 update 2(only this version is capable with vista). Someone plz help. thanks

Select the End Process for each of those limewire.exe's and then start Limewire back up again...
If it does it again, end it again and leave it closed, then delete your preference folder..
