limewire won't start up.

[Xevabis]

i try to start up limewire, the loading screen pops up but then disappears like i never opened it. i have tried the main fixes i.e. reinstalling java, reinstalling limewire, changing limewire's compatability, deleting my preferences, etc. i checked my limewire directory and got this error txt file.
