Exclamation LW Does not Open!!

I have Windows XP Media Center Edition running on a sony vaio pc.
I uninstalled my last version of LW and downloaded and installed the newest version available on the website (Not Beta). It installs fine and there is no problem while installing, but when I try to open LW, It puts the startup screen on, and then goes away without opening. WHAT IS WRONG?

What version of Java are you using? Try this version. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one.
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer.

If that doesn't help, 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.

Or try the other fixes in that thread (change compatibility, run as administrator).
