Default Help Limewire wont start despite using all help from other threads!!!!!!

ive had limewire for over a year now but randomly whilst using it it just closed and since then it wont open. it shows the loading screen and gets to generally around 57% but then it just disappears with no trace of it ever having been open. I downloaded the latest java after uninstalling the version i had. i stopped my firewall from preventing anything from working and i reinstalled limewire. i also deleted the preference folder but still it will not opem!!! Can anyone help me?

No...You should just try and start LW up again...

Try rolling back to an older version of Java...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

If you still have no luck try uninstalling Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire
