For those of you who don't allready know the basic/beta versions
are purposely designed to dissapear of your screen or worst case scenario cause a blue screen of death causing a kernel fault and forcing you to restart.

These symptoms are well documented and Limewire has been fully blasted for they're incompetant and misleading and just plain Nasty actions !

Mind you there is hope if you do spend the $8.50 or find a version
of 2.3.2 pro floating around.

These problems will magicly dissapear ! As this version actually works full stable on 2000 i haven't tested XP yet but so far so good its almost been 24 hours now and the above mentioned version has sat rock steady downloading perfectly.

YES once again another example of a struggling software company trying to make it into the big league by copying the dishonest tricks of they're bigger counterparts.

Truelly disgusting !!! i'll be letting Cnet know to take the
beta versions of the software down of the public shareware downloads site as it is FALSE and misleading to tell users that
the software works on 2000 and XP when it clearly doesn't and has purposelly built bugs in it.

Which force you to buy the full version thankfully when you do you get the real maccoy BUT this is not good trade practise
and i'll be instigating some sort of legal action if possible !

Thankyou limewire for being another bad boy bubby microsoft
and you shall be treated as such from now on.

sure. very smart tactic. crash user's computer so get angry and buy pro version? did you come up with this while sitting on a can constapating?

regular non-pro version works perfectly fine on both of my machines. one xp, one win2k. had limewire running for over 24hours. neither of my machines EVER bluescreened.

quit spreading lies and find something productive to do.

i cant read java and have never looked at limewire's source but from what you say my first guess would be that something is wrong with the spyware-crap on your PC
you should try AdAware http://www.lavasoft.de

oh thats great!!!!!!!!! so it does not work after awhile what a waste!

Don't listen to that little dippoop. I leave LimeWire 2.3.1 AdSupported running ALL THE TIME on WinXP. I have NEVER seen a crash, BSOD or anything else like that.
If some little dweeb whines about crashes and other stuff on WinXP, its because he's buying generic poop hardware and using ancient drivers and never installs a patch in his life on his 233Mhz MMX 64MB EDO Via MVP3 system.

I'm running it on 2000. It works fine.

you brought back a thread that's been dead for almost 3 weeks to say that?!?!?!

Seems that Limewire is also responsible for Smallpox. - I have used both the free and pro versions on three machines (87,2k,2k)for over a year and heve never had a BSOD... nor have I had any problems that I would/could attribute to Limewire....

I have used previous versions and now 2.4.1 with windows Xp and it works fine. I am sure if this wanna be somebody sent a message to Cnet ---Cnet would check it our first before they did anything. Thats even if they believe such dribble like that.

why the hell do people keep bringing back this thread? it's dead!!! let it die!!! it's bad enough that someone was stupid enough to post it in the first place, ppl who keep responding to it just reinforce the stupidity by bringing it back to the top of the list.

Dude, take a valium...and then shut the hell up....please.

Hmmmmm.... if your getting those errors it's probably a end user problem- not limewire's. I have run it for 2 weeks with no problem whatsoever on my WIN2k machine and WINXP machine. Use ad-aware and update your java.

Obviously you did not get the version I did. In my case I was abducted by Limewirians and subjected to the painful anal probe... followed by the blue screen of death followed by my cat giving birth to two headed terrapins....

If you have documentation that this load of hooey is true why not post it so we can see for ourselves.... otherwise please keep your paranoid ramblings to yourself.

Love

Running Win 2000 / JRE 1.4 / Limewire 2.4.4... No related crashes... no Problems

Hmm, well since I upgraded to 2.43 my machine has been BSODing when limewire's running. I'll check out 2.44, see if it fixes it.
It's been damn annoying, but that's what you get with Beta software.

I have paid for mine and got the upgrade version, but I still get Blue Screens, if I leave it runing, and come back, its a blue screen, no other application does this on my system, and I run all sorts, 3D Graphics, Games, Servers ike apache, even Edonkey, but with the fully registered nd paid for version of Lime Wire, I get blue screen,
HELP!
