What i did for a short term solution was:

Right click on limewire

Click on properties

Click on the Compatibility tab

Check the Run in 256 colour box

Press apply

Not sure if this will help but every time Limewire opens up it will change your computer to 256 colours. Once Limewire is opened and working fine, change the colour back to your original colour, (normally 32 bit) using the display controls in the control panel.
