Start here, delete your LW preferences folder: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html
See if it launches then, if not then post back.

Try these things: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

You will need to set LW to run as Admin & I think the installer also. The problem could be Java or LW or both. Any more problems after that, right-click the actual LW program & choose run as (admin should already have been selected) & choose a windows compatibility mode.
