Please help. I'd be glad if someone solves this for me .

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If still problems, repeat but also use your add/remove control panel & remove Java. Then re-install Java using the "Offline" Java installer: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)
