If nothing seems to work, then 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.)

mac users would find such preferences folder here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
& Linux here ~/.limewire or ~/Application Data/limewire
