Firstly just make sure limewire is not still running in your processes in the task manager (ctrl-alt-delete) if it is select the end now option...

If it isn't try these fixes...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...

something simular happened to me a few times, and it even re-installed limewire a few times using the link created by the installation of limewire
how i fixed it was to go create a shortcut on the desktop to the limewire file, it is the same as the one limewire places on the desktop, but i have not had any problems since i created a new shortcut to the file
"C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe"
just right click on the desktop and choose NEW and then choose SHORTCUT to create a shortcut and paste the addy into the space provided and see if that helps, it fixed my trouble, hope it helps fix yours
