Just out of interest, did you get LW from www.limewire.com , or did you download it from somewhere else? (if it's a scam version it might never run properly)

If you have a lot of incomplete files in your download window (or any for that matter), try cancelling them before you close Limewire. The incompletes will remain in the library, and you can resume them A FEW AT A TIME when you reopen Limewire. But allow Limewire to start up fully before dong this. I hope it helps.

I use Mac and it is impossible to close Limewire properly with out doing this. I believe the Windows version behaves slightly differently.
