Additional info, added Wednesday May 24 2006, 8:34 pm:
it says: Limewire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow access to the internet and restart limewire..

This is a pretty common problem. You will need to open up your firewall settings. You can go to the quicklaunch bar (located in the bottom right corner that has those small icons and it's next to the clock) and rollover to the icons until you find one that says "firewall" or "antivirus".. get to your firewall settings. If you don't have an administrator account, you'll need to get the administrator to turn off the firewall or accept limewire. If you do have the adminstrator account, you can easily change the settings. But it does depend on what kind of firewall or antivirus program you have.

You may e-mail me at xxmcrfan15xx@yahoo.com if you have any more questions.
