I downloaded limewire to my ?

I downloaded limewire onto my laptop (running windows XP) a few days ago. When I clicked on the icon, the LW start screen flashed briefly and then went away. Since I downloaded it using Google Chrome, I deleted the entire thing and downloaded it using IE. I'm still having the same problem. I click the icon, I briefly see the start screen then it goes away. I have removed and replaced it a few times but no luck. Anyone out there have any ideas?
