yeah, so I've changed font sizes, dumped caches, cleaned my registry, removed everything associated with limewire in any way, redownloaded the online and offline installers, and nothing is working for me.

this seems almost hopeless.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. 3 of the 6 computers I have are hp and windows xp sp2, but none of them are having any trouble whatsoever with LW.

I'm willing to give any information that would assist you in assisting me.
