Limewire Not Functioning Properly

[Matt Avery]

I received a notice to update my limewire service when I opened it. When I ran the update and tried to start Limewire again I received this error message and now cannot get back into my account. I have paid a lifetime fee to use limewire and have been relatively happy with the service to this point. I would like to be able to fix this problem without having to pay a another start up fee to get my Limewire service back up and running. Please let me know via e-mail how this may be possible.

Thanks,
M. Avery

Here is the problem:

LimeWire version 4.9.37
Java version 1.5.0_03 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
