Default Upgrading to Limewire 4.14: Error

I'm just trying to upgrade to Limewire 4.14. There's a shortcut to it on the desktop, when i click it the green Limewire screen comes up, and then an error message which says:

"Limwire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewire's connection to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow Limewire access to the internet and restart Limewire".

I've checked the firewall settings and it's set to off. So i'm not sure why this message keeps appearing. Help appreciated.

Mandy.

It may be related to your modem/router having an internal NAT firewall which does not support UPnP or is not enabled for it. We need more details; System details - help us to help you (click on blue link). BTW which was your previous version of LW? You may have a firewall on your computer you are not aware of. If you have a 3rd party firewall, if you are using windows XP, it has its own firewall.
