Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here.
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Which version of Java are you using? Some people have had trouble with the latest Java updates. Try this version instead. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before installing this one (it's easy enough to reinstall a later Java if it turns out that Java's the problem).

If that doesn't help, try reinstalling the latest version of LW (4.14.8) & make sure to use the offline installer (when you click to download LW & the dialog box pops up, cancel that & you'll see the option to use the offline installer).

If all that fails:eek:, right click on the LW desktop icon > properties > compatibility & run in compatibility mode for Win XP.
