Kirby you were right it was the newdotnet_109.dll that was causing the problem. Be aware though when I removed the file after rebooting I could not get a network connection. I then used ad-aware to check for it again it was still listed in ad-aware even though I had removed the file. After removing it via ad-aware it said my winsock2 connection had been restored and I was connected again and Limewire stays up now. This file was also affecting Napster as well.

Thanks for your advice.
