i'm freezing over here!
 

Every time i try to use limewire, my computer completely seizes up and I am forced to reboot. Any ideas as to the problem and how i can fix it?

1. Reduce your incomplete files; Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

2. After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

3. Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

See if the above helps. If you're a windows user, then make sure your Java is up to date. I'd suggest Java 1.5 Uninstall the previous version, then downld the new version & save to your comp (don't install over the net!) Then install the Java. You can get a link from here: Fixes for Limewire
