Try to download the offline installer.exe of LW from here:
http://www.limewire.com/

Prior to the installation of it you should also update your Java....
Uninstall LW and all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Install it and reboot again, then reinstall LW.

It says that I can't do that because "an old version of LimeWire appears to be running" but I can't seem to find where limewire is running.
:confused:

Open your Task Manager via "crlt&alt" + delete one time, then go to the Processes tab and look for the limewire.exe process. Force it to end.
That should do it.....

Thank You!
Have a good night :D
