Close LimeWire (LW).
Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is
closed; instructions here:
Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)
Before you do this, use the control-Alt-Delete keys & open up Process Manager. Check to see LimeWire is not an active program. If it is, kill the process.
