Hi, I downloaded and operated LW successfully for about two weeks. All of a sudden, whenever I would exit LW, it would restart on its own. I then uninstalled LW only to get the following message that keeps on opening (with report pasted at the bottom of this post):

"One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again."

I then reinstalled LW only to find that it was restarting the program again whenever I closed it. I then uninstalled it again and the error message continues to pop up. Can anyone help???

LimeWire version 4.18.8
Java version 1.6.0-oem from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows Vista v. 6.0 on x86
