I have a suspicion a reboot might fix that but maybe not.
1. 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.)

2. Run this small utility: CCleaner.com

3. Download & use this version: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!

*** How did you uninstall LW? If you used the add/remove control panel then that's why the problem. (LW should not be uninstalled using the control panel.) Answer to is basically steps 2 & 3 above. Re-installing LW will remove the previous LW at beginning of installation. Else, start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall.
