Ok I was on the 4.16 version of limewire. By the way Im a windows vista user. So I tried to get the latest version 4.18 so I uninstalled the old version and everytime I click BASIC then I choose the correct platform Windows Vista then I download and because limewire doesnt show up on the desktop it doesnt appear to be properly installed.This little box keeps appearing that says TASK EXISTED CURRENT TASK 100 % I HIT REDOWNLOAD AND NOTHING HAPPENS. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG. I EVEN JUST TRIED TO INSTALL THE 4.18 VERSION RIGHT FROM THE SCREEN OF THE 4.16 VERSION. NO LUCK .

It may have something to do with you uninstalling the Old Version. No need to do that. During the upgrade or new install LW will uninstall the Old Version.
Try Starting from scratch. Use the LW Uninstaller, then search your HDD for any remnants and Delete them. Download Ccleaner (in my sig) and clean up your registry. Now start fresh. Only Download LW from here Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «. Hope this helps.

If your Truly Irritated with LW, Try Phex. Another Gnutella based client. Just click the Fox. Also in my Sig.
