It seems that if I want to run limewire, I have to inevitably restart my computer. Usually It just freezes everything while it is connecting, at he screen where the Buy/Why/Later buttons come up. Some time it lets me do stuff for about 5-10 mins, but usually will lock up when I try to get into the options.

By freezing I mean that, I can move my mouse around the screen, but no amount of clicking or keyboard commands will work. Sounds also break, and loop.

Now before anyone says anything, yes I have used limewire on this machine before, but an older version(4.16). Because I can't click anything, I cannot enter the preference to change them.

Thanks for your time.
