Install this version of Java first. Use the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing this one.

Now, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Now reistall your Pro & see how it goes

Ok, try changing compatibility or running as admin (points 5 & 6 in the 'fixes' thread).

Otherwise, try using the 'other' installer. That's the option at the bottom of the list on your Pro personal download page.
