Did you use the offline installers for both Java (JRE) & LW? Remove your current Java & try again with the offline installer

Try deleting the preferences folder (points 2 & 3 below)
Fixes for LimeWire

Have you installed or updated any antispyware that could be stopping LW from opening? If this is the case, make sure that LW's on the list of exceptions/allowed apps

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Any other security you're using (antispyware, worm protection etc etc)
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

What happened before LW stopped working? Any changes to hardware, software, ISP etc.
