To close it i have to go into task manager. but shortly after that it tries to start up again and stops at 12% again. |

--------------------------------------------------------If that dont work try this -- posted by COFFEENNICOTINE 12% load freeze solution KK, My friend and I both just had an excruciating experience with this on our windows vista laptops.. btw, we were running firefox ....Here's how we BOTH fixed this problem.... this may only apply to vista machines tho... sorry We changed the shortcut to and the limewire.exe file itself both to compatibility with windows XP sp2 by left-clicking the icons and going under the compatibility tab.Then we left clicked the shortcut and chose "run as administrator" after doing this the program hung up at 19% and said something about a "save folder" being damaged or missing. after hitting the "OK" button on this dialog box another dialog box came up asking us to choose a folder to stand in for the " missing or damaged" saved folder...We simply created a folder named "saved" and this solved the problem....
