Pretty old LW version you're trying to run....

So my first advice would be:

If you still have installer .exe of your old LW version, save it onto your desktop.

Go START>Program>LimeWIre>Uninstall and remove the old LW version.

Then Go START>Search for Files and Folders> and type (without apostrophes) " .limewire " (yep, that point must be in front of the word) and locate this folder. When you have found it, delete it.

Then go to : Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « and download the newest basic version of LW for free. Download the offline installer of that version.

Then install it and restart your computer.....

Cheers
FOTH
