Try this -- it fixed my problem and others I have helped on this forum:-
[1] Uninstall the old version of LW before installing the new -- delete the old LW folders from the Programs directory before installing the new version
[2] Ensure that you have java script J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 (Jre ver 5) if not download from here:-
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Of course if you haven't got an older version of Limewire loaded just leave para [1] out and do para [2]
please let us know -- Thanx
