Default Can't uninstall limewire

I went to "uninstall" and went through the process. After I hit finish, the box disappeared, but limewire was still installed on my computer. Now when I try to open limewire or re-uninstall it, I get a popup that says there was a file corruption and I should try re-installing limewire.
I re-installed it, but the same thing is still happening when I try to uninstall.

Hi Stacey,
Looks like you did use the LW uninstaller. If you use the Add/Remove function in the control panel, then there might be issues.
Try this. Close LW. Click Start > Search > All Files/Folders. Type in limewire > Search. After it finishes the search, Delete anything and everything, limewire.
Now Download Ccleaner from my Signature. Run Ccleaner to clean up any leftovers.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I did that. Now limewire is definitely gone but anytime I try to download a file it still defaults to limewire; Except, since limewire doesn't exist anymore, that means it just brings up that same box again that says a file was corrupted or something.. How do I get files to go back to automatically downloading the way they did before I installed limewire?

Thanks a lot for your help, by the way.

Setting up the default player ??

Open your Shared/Saved Folder. Right click on any file, now "Open With" and Choose Program. Now Click on whatever Player you are going to use. Place a check...Always use this program...and then OK.
