Question Problems with LW disabling AOL

This is what happens...
I open limewire and can use it for about 30 mins sometime turbo charged
A message pops up saying limewire cannot detect an internet connection
I close limewire, and exit tray icon
I can only close aol by using the three fingered salute (alt,ctrl,del)
I cannot reconnect to aol and have to restart the computer
On shutdown the computer freezes when saving settings
I press restart button
Sometimes on startup, during scan disk, several files need to be truncated - usually aol files sometimes ccApp files
Sometimes when i then reconnect to aol it needs to search for the modem.

After that aol runs fine.

Things I have done.....
I have removed the rubbish that comes with aol and i dont believe i have their firewall running
I have configured nortons to allow limewire
I have deleted the preferences file and turned off automatic startup
I have downloaded and installed the Java RE update 1
I have repaired limewire through add/remove programmes and every other suggestion i have found on this forum

I am using Windows XP with sp2, AOL9 and limewire basic

So why, after doing all of that will it still not work????
