Red face LimeWire won't open...

Or better said, it opens and then closes immediately.
I already tried everything I could find on the forums. Deleted the preferences folder, installed the offline versions(of LW and java), ran it in compatibility for Windows 2000 and NT...and still nothing.
I have java 6u13, and the site says it's fine. I have LW 5.1.2, btw. I also had this problem when I first downloaded LW but then updating java fixed it. I'm working on Windows XP.And yeah, it is not being blocked by the firewall.
So what is the problem???And more important, how do I fix it???

Although you may have tried similar, have you tried this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

Another option is to try LW 4.18 instead. That version actually has more tools than LW 5 has. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...lw-4-18-a.html

Yes, I have tried that.

Now I decided to download an older version. Just one question, will having an older version cause me problems , like less results, slower downloads...?
