My copy of LimeWire is not on the same hard drive as my System and works correctly.Anyway, I got the same problem before and resolved it by updating Mac os Java runtime.

Will not start: the Fix. - terryl
The problem: Limewire icon just bounces a few times on the dock and fails to launch. No error message; just nothing happens. I just dealt with this problem for a client.The Short Version of the fix: Delete your Limewire preferences in the ~name of user/library/preferences folder. Then run the current Macintosh OS 10 updaters from the Software Update under the Apple Menu to update the OS 10 Java and security code to be compatible with the latest Limewire versions. This solved the problem for my client.
