If you are using ADAWARE by Lavasoft it will corrupt Limewire. You must be sure that "Remove spyware automatically" is not checked or that you put all 7 references on the "ignore path". If you delete the registry entries and the cd_clint.dll the application will not load. It would make sense that the application is designed to fail if you disable it's ability to load the banner ads which generate revenue for limewire.com. What Limewire.com and ADAWARE define as "Spyware" are different.
