Default Limewire won't open... using Vista?

It gets as far as the screen before it opens up.

And I get an error message saying:

"LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a security program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please add LimeWire as an exception to your security software and restart LimeWire."

I added it to the Windows Firewall thing and this still came up.

Maybe it's my Java, I don't know.

I didn't have this problem with my older LimeWire, which was version 5.2.13.0

Help?

Lol. Nevermind.

I had my bro come in the room and it worked after that.

He didn't do anything.

It's just that I had to restart it.

My laptop died. And it started over when I plugged it in.

I always hibernate it.

Thanks anyways.
