Unhappy LimeWire is being blocked by a firewall and I don't have a firewall!

I have LimeWire 4.12.11, and whenever I start it up, there is a message that pops up that says "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire."
I don't have a firewall, so I'm guessing its the "loopback connections".
I have absolutley no clue what that is.
I am using Windows XP Professional, and I saw many problems like mine, only they had firewalls and I didn't.

Please someone answer back soon.
