But that isn't fair (or right), some rumors say that Vista USES P2P tech NATIVELY in their LAN's, i don't think it should be the local machine then.

PS: And a question for ShyGrl, Does Vista run well on those 512 Mb of RAM, or it runs slowly, please tell me, i'm thinking of upgrading

Vista and McAfee don't go well together at all and HeatherDianeR is actually correct in what she has advised....
Quote:
If uninstalling java doesn't work go to start-control panel-under programs you'lll choose uninstall a program- find mcafee and choose uninstall. it will pop a box with different options to uninstall, go ahead and choose all of them. after that's finished limewire should work fine. you'll probably need to get a different kind of virus protection because evidently mcafee and limewire don't mix too well. Good Luck!!
Mick is also right in saying that you have to run Java JRE...So seeing you have that part under control try using Heather's fix, it has worked for many...

But you also need to get an Anti Virus, there are plenty of excellent free one's....http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-...g/us/tpl/tpl01 I use this one myself....

Also it's a good idea to have good spyware protection...

Just a bit of extra info...
This AV is also free (I use it)

And a good little IP blocker for using with p2p apps is PeerGuardian2, it's also free
