LimeWire Quits as soon as it starts.

[Jaejae]

I had been using LW (I forget which version) on XP Pro without a worry about a year ago, and have since installed XP MCE 2005.
I Figured I would get LW again, so I downloaded the newest one, installed jre-1_5_0_11, then installed LW, it went fine.
When I started it, it would show the splash screen, load successfully, show the main page, then immediately quit, leaving an icon in the tray which would disappear if I hovered the mouse over it.

The same thing happens with FrostWire aswell.
I have gone into the application data folder and deleted the LW folder, but it still quits when I try to start it.

I have spent about an hour looking on these forums for a solution, so this really is a last ditch effort.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys may be able to offer.

Edit: My pc specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ @~2.2GHZ
RAM: 512mb DDR2
GFX: nVidia 7300GS
Router: D-Link DSL-G604T

Do you have other Java versions still on your computer (besides the 1.5.0_11)? If you do, remove the other versions.

Have you used older versions of LW in the past? You could have a preferences folder in the old location of C:\Documents and Settings\your username\.limewire...if you have that .limewire folder then delete it.

Try changing compatibility. Right click on the LW icon on your desktop > properties > compatibility. Run in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT.

Nah I uninstalled all other versions of Java first, and I haven't used any other versions of LW before on this computer.
Tried running in all the available compatibility modes, still not working.

Uninstall LW (start > all progs > LW & use the uninstall option there). Reboot & then use the computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name, delete whatever you find.

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (when you click to download & the dialog box pops up, cancel that & use the option to download the offline installer).

Do you have an old LW installer somewhere, to check whether an older version works properly?

Have done all of the above, except trying an older installer, I don't happen to have one,is there an archive where I could get one?
