Default please help help help limewire won't run

If someone could help me, that would be wonderful.
So limewire is downloading fine, and when i try and run it: the language option comes up and i hit next, i save onto a folder and i hit next, i choose my connection speed and i hit next, i choose for limewire to start automatically and i hit next, THEN i get stuck on a firewall page. If i move the box, i can see a limewire box behind it saying "loading html"...but limewire won't run no matter how long i leave it there.
I checked my firewall, and it is allowing full internet access to limewire.
I tried both the recommended and offline versions of limewire.
I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling both limewire and java.
I tried deleting the .limewire folder. Nothing works.
Ughhhhh it's SO frusterating, please please help!

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Try changing compatibility.
Right click on LW's icon > properties. Now change compatibility to Windows 2000 & if that doesn't work, try changing to Win NT.
