Default Closes after loading screen

Well, I had to reformat my computer and now limewire isnt working. I turned my windows firewall off. I have 1.5 of java. Last time I had the next version and it didnt work with it. I had limewire open the other day and now I just get the loading little box that says Limewire and loading interface. Then it just closes after that..

Search your computer for limewire to see how many versions you have on there. If more than one get rid of the others.

Try 2 things:

1. Delete your LW preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

2. Reboot your computer. (or perhaps you should reboot your computer 1st & then delete the LW pref's folder!!!!)
