IronHorse666, Thanx for the advise. I have tried all the solutions you have posted, I have been told it's something to do with Java but having tried the latest version I am stumpt. This has only recently started and having been using limewire for about 4 years, you can understand my frustration, what makes it even stranger is that limewire works when i start the program, but that illegible screen only starts happening if i close the program to task bar.
