Default Trouble staying on..

Hi,
I've got this H.P. Pavillion with 1 gig RAM.. using Cable-Connection.. 202 gig free space.. I have some type of Firewall but it must have come with this Computer ( I know it's not Norton, I dumped that one ).
Once, this would stay online while downloading, even if I minimized LimeWire.. but now even if I'm still in the open window it'll simply shut down.
Any ideas on what to look for.. and where?
T.I.A.
Charlie

I'd say it's your Java version that is causing limewire to shut down...'
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

With your firewall could you supply these details please...

Wow! I did as you suggested, and now I not only cannot stay online with LimeWire.. my Entire Computer has slowed down terribly.
I just went to LimeWire and asked for a mp3.. the download speed was.. .00097221, I'm not sure if that's even a speed, I do know that it's less that a ONE..lol.
I'm sure that you meant well, and maybe it's not even the fault of JAVA.. but now I've got a whole lot of work to do in order to get this new computer back up to par.
Does anyone know where I can get some Tech help so it won't take me days and days to fix this?
Thanks again for your time and effort,
Charlie

Have you done a virus scan at all ???
Java wont effect your computer like that...

Have you tried to restore your computer (in system tools) to an earlier date?

Yeppers.. that seemed to be the trick.. it feels like I'm up and running again..great tip.
Now, can anyone tell me the difference between a "hit" and an "upload"?
Also, how did I get here? I've been searching all over in order to find this post again, and I'm not really sure I can do it again.
Thanks Again,
Charlie
