Just make sure limewire is not running in you task manager (Ctrl - Alt - Delete) processes, if it is end process and see if limewire starts up for you...

If not try these fixes...

Try this...
Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

After many installs and uninstalls, the computer gets hundreds of entries and deletes. I would suggest two things: 1. Go to Search enter "Limewire" and delete every entry possible that says "Limewire" 2. The register is probably clogged also, but I WOULD NOT enter the register unless you are an advanced user, however there is a website called "Registry Crawler" that you can temporarily download that WILL get rid of ALL register "Limewire" entries.
I am NOT a computer expert, but you may try this before taking to a professional computer man/woman
