I'm new here, so please excuse any errors of location, lack of proper information.

When opening up my LimeWire application it loads up to 12% (Loading HTML Engine) and then drops to the background, and no longer shows in the task bar. I never had this problem until I believe I recently corrupted my registry. I checked some other boards and FAQ's and tried reinstalling LimeWire, which didn't help, I also reinstalled Java, which also did nothing. I'm thinking I should take this to a BestBuy and see if Geek Squad can/will do anything about it, but before I try them I want to try this board and see if anyone knows of this problem prior.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

This seems to have recently become a problem for quite a few people. See the first fix in the link below. I also gave you a few other options to try if that doesn't help. I am also assuming you have Vista. This seems to be where the problem is.
