ive answered your questions. so, any advice or help?

gino Hi.
It looks like you have several possible problems but your main problem is TalkTalk they are not P2P friendly. Peak times you will have NO success however well you configure your computer.
We can at least try some things First
Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Link to get (jre-1.5.12) Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one,
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.

7.Router brand name & model numbers ? >dunno
Please look its important.

why do you think java is the problem? i only wanted the said window disabled or stopped. and how do i get my router name & other infos?

You said.
whenever i click on the Limewire icon on my desktop a message appears saying..."could not create the registry key". what is that all about? how can i disable that message from poppin-in again?

Jave version 1.6.0_01 Is known to be problematic. & rolling back to JRE 1.5.11
I believe would solve that.

Do you have any other Hardware connected to your computer apart from your
modem if so thats your router, info is on it someware, if not you dont have one,OK

gino_76ph Hi.


START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Blue Link to get "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12" Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, 4th one down.
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.
OK Friend.
Peace.
