Edited to comply with the House Rules & edit out personal information.

Control-alt-del & bring up the manager & make sure Limewire is not listed. If it is, force it to quit.

Now, delete your LW preferences folder; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Try installing again. If still problems, download the "Offline" installer (not the recommended one) from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

it wont let me send the file .limewire to the recycle bin
it said it is beiing used by another person or program any programs that might be using the file and try again
i check system tray and ctrl-alt-delete

Is it the one from your account? Make sure you have admin permissions. And make sure LW is closed. Reboot if necessary.
