Thanks Bob

I'll check what you posted. What I have is a firewall icon that stays even if I shut down both Windows and Norton (windows normally stays off) firewalls. Limewire has worked about flawlessly for nearly two years and then this just comes from nowhere. Norton never gave me any trouble before and it doesn't appear to be the problem now. I think a defrag has been done recently. I'll post and let you know what happens. Thanks so much for the response!
