Main screen comes up then exits ... (error log included)

I'm using LimeWire 1.8 BETA .
On Windows 2000 with all MS updates installed and with IE6 .
I have Java JRE2 Runtime 1.3.1.01A .

LimeWire's main screen comes up , stays there a second and exit's ...

I've included it's error log ...

I don't mind it giving me ads aslong it's a one-way door :
Ads coming to me , personal info not leaving .
If your drive allong a road , there's is noone changing the ads to what they think you prefer , same thing should apply to LimeWire .

Too bad it doesn't run , I've used version 1.7 on Windows 98 and I loved it

It started working again , don't now why .
Tried it out to see if it was still crashing ; but to my surprise it worked normally ...
