Default LimeWire Encountered a problem...

Hmm well I'm usually the guy that everyone comes to for computer advice but I'm stuck right now...

Everytime I try to open LimeWire, before I even see the program I just get directly the

"LimeWire.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

message and... Well I've thought of what all could cause that and I think well it's probally a Java problem... So I talked to a friend that had LimeWire working, (mine had worked before it just started this one day) I seen the exact version he had of Java and I got THAT exact version of JAVA and LIMEWIRE and it still has a problem as soon as I click on it ... Anyone have ANY ideas ? ? ?

You could try deleting LW's preferences folder, points 2 & 3 below (no guarantees, but this sometimes fixes the strangest problems!)
Fixes for LimeWire

Are you running any antispyware programs? Some have a problem with LW & prevent it from opening. Make sure LW's on the list of exceptions/allowed apps or disable the antispy & see if anything changes.

Default if problem persists

I had the same problem and what I did was download the newest version of java which should be 7.0, I think.
