Confused LW 4.18.8 freezes, can't kill proces!!!

Hello everybody

Do I have this weird problem running Limewire 4.18.8!

I used to dl with LW a few years ago, but stopped using it. Now I decided to install again.

When I start LW it launches, connects and I can start searching for anything I like. Until this point everything goes well.

When I start a download, it starts with good speed, but afere 1-5 min running the speed drops to zero. Limewire seems to be working OK but doesn't dl.

So I shut it down, and attempt to restart. Then I notice LW is still running as proces in taskmanager. I can try whatever I like, but LW doesn't shutdown at all. Even with taskkill it says all goes well, but it remains in the task list.

Running W7 x64 on AMD LE1640 single core / 3GB/800(64 bit) / 2,5TB

Things I tried:

- Using LW 4.18.8 I still had on CD from my old backup.
LW freezes in mem. Have to reboot PC.

- Using the newest LW from the forum here, with standalone java 6.20 installer used. Also used the gnutella.net from the forum.
LW freezes in the mem. Have to reboot PC.

- Using latest Frostwire same way...
FW freezes in mem... reboot...

- Using a VM with winXP x86 along with java 5.22 (standalone download from oldversion) and LW4.18.8
LW freezes in mem. Cannot shutdown VM as well! Have to reboot PC again...

- Would try W98 in VM, but can't connect it to internet, so bummer...

Is it my machine??? Is it java??? Seems like lots of users use LW succesfully here... I'm startiong to believe my machine does something wrong :S I couldn't find the solution on the forum, so I decided to create a new post.

Please... Anyone...
