System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

If using Vista, set the installer to run as Admin. After installing, right-click the LW shortcut on desktop & set to run as Admin.

If still problems, try this technique: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

Remember, LW 5.2.1 is a beta version. If you wish to use that version then use that beta installer instead of the one mentioned in the link in previous paragraph.

So despite cleaning the registry after uninstalling & reinstalling Java with offline installer, it still won't work?
Try this version, just unzip & use: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. If problems opening it, check options #5 & 6 here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link).

Still don't see your system details other than Windows XP. I presume you are using Java 1.6? LW 5 will not run with any earlier version.
We need system setup details for a reason. Otherwise we're purely stabbing in the dark for answers. That's why we specified this in the forum rules.
