Hello. My limewire got the bug that caused it to start up or shutdown whenever it wanted. I was not able to get rid of the bug so I uninstalled limewire(I have basic) due to it driving me crazy popping up when I'm in the middle of something. But now instead of limewire popping up an error message pops up. Here is the error message. Any help getting rid of either the bug or making the error message go away is appreciated. thanks
(also I dont care if fixing it means no longer having limewire)


(starts up here by saying one or more files may be invalid and suggest reinstalling limewire bla bla bla...then this)
