Default

Go to Start/My Computer/C:/Program Files/LimeWire and click on the limewire Icon in the folder. That should start LimeWire. If it doesn't click on the icon that says uninstall and uninstall Limewire then reinstall it.

Try deleting LW's preferences folder, see points 2 & 3 below
Fixes for LimeWire

This will revert all the settings within tools > options to default. Providing LW opens, you'll have to reset things afterwards.
