Startup Error - Invalid Necessary Files - Corrupt

[GrahamH]

Everytime I try to open Limewire, I get a popup saying that "One or more files appears to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing Limewire again. If the problem persists, please visit www.limewire.com and click the "support" link. Thank you."

and then the following...:

LimeWire version 4.14.12
Java version 1.6.0-oem from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows Vista v. 6.0 on x86
Free/total memory: 31208552/33357824

Any Help or suggestions as to how I can fix this and open LimeWire?

I have uninstalled and installed numerous times with no solution.

Thanks.
