Warrax

For an experienced user there is an awful lot of basic information that you do not know about, still your problem sounds like you've picked up some sort of virus which has probably corrupted how LW works.

I would do the following:

1) Do an on-line virus scan to see if you have been infected by anything, there are various AV scanners such as Symantec Security, Trend Micro HouseCall, Kaspersky Lab, etc. just google and choose one.

2) Whether you find a virus or not, uninstall and delete your current copy of LW and Java, make sure that you get all the directories and all the files. And if possible, see if you can at the registry settings with a registry cleaner.

3) Defrag your HD, windows XP has a built in disk defragmenter which you will in find in Accessories >> System Tools.

4) Install java, I would suggest you go for V1.5.

5) Install Limewire Basic.

6) Run Limewire Basic.

If this fails then I suggest you wrack your brain for something else you may have done or installed.

PS. I forgot to mention that you should also download and run AVG Anti-Spyware, this process should come after No. 2
