That's good...means that the folder was deleted properly. Did you also look for a prefs folder in the old location of C:\Documents and Settings\your username\.limewire??

You're using an older version of Java...did you try updating to the latest version & rolling back to the older version mentioned in the help thread? Remember to remove all other Java versions before updating or rolling back.

What's the model of your Linksys?

I also got into my router settings and opened a port and changed that particular setting in Limewire. Still nothing.
Do you mean that you set up port forwarding? Did you use instructions from portforward.com ?
Did you set up a static IP address before port forwarding?

Just in case - check your port forwarding setup. Go here, find your model of router, choose LW from the list of programs. You'll get step by step instructions for port forwarding & a link to static IP setup: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
