The LW player is really horrible, I'd suggest you make something else your default player

But...if you definitely want to use the LW player, try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
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.

The LW media player can be very slow to work. So wait a few mins if necessary. Though it shouldn't take that long. LW's primary purpose is downloading & uploading so that's where the majority of the cpu is targeted at. The media player gets a lower priority & thus can be slow to work. Try using the media player after you open LW & have waited for the library to load, without downloading anything & see if it works then. If it works, then it will work when you are downloading but remember to be patient for it to start playing.
