Limewire not running

[craigo]

Got a new hard drive. Tried to install limeware 4.14.8 - no luck. Checked forums, uninstalled Java, downloaded Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11. Uninstalled previous installation of LW. Disconnected internet connection. Rebooted system. Installed Java. Installed LW. Reconnected internet. Started LW. Back to the install screen. Gone through about 10 versions of this scenario, including Java update 12, and version 6, as well as an older version of LW. Also tried installing online. Noticed that sometimes LW shows up on the Task Manager, although no interface appears. Had older version of LW on the old drive (now defunct) and like the product. Can somebody help? PLEASE?!?
