and does not go to my tray so i don't know waht is going on please help me

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
11. Were you able to use LW before this started happening? At which point in time did it start happening?

* Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire
If that doesn't fix it then uninstall your Java & re-install it from the link I gave you. Don't install over the net but save it to your computer 1st.

system resources!
 

my old pc had this problem....it turned out that the CPU was dead and when a program like limewire started up it took up say 50mb of the system resources it would just disapear!
either you need more ram or a new cpu (motherboard)!
