Cool Error Messages

Every time I try to open Limewire, I get this Error message.Limewire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewires access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow Limewire access to the internet and restart Limewire. I tried turning off my firewall, but it didn't seem to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Joe Dharma... Here's all my info. I can figure out... 1. Windows xp 2. aol firewall 3. 512 mb of DDR SDRAM memory 4. 4 gigabytes of on my laptop, but 240 on my external harddrive. 5. Broadband 6. Time Warner modem 7. Trying to connect fron home and work. 8. Limewire 4.16 not sure of java. 9. Internet provider is Time Warner. 10. Test worked. 11. I am sharing with others. 12. Have been using limewire 13. Security programs I'm using are A.O.L. antivirus,firewall and spyware. 14. I'm in the U.S.
