After getting computer re formatted, have reinstalled limewire but when i search or download the computer freezes up (crashes) nothing works not even mouse curser,have to reset computer. I have changed the version of java to 5.0 version 11 & have installed different versions of limewire ,still the same fault. Before formatting it worked no bother any ideas !!

Only logical answer may be in your re-format of, assume, single hard drive. Is every other application working except LWire? Check your partitioning and cluster size on re-formatted HD...single partition is simplest and cluster size depends on HD Gig size (if formatting done correctly cluster size is automatic). You did not supply system details as strongly suggested by LWire, so senior members can spot possible fixes...probably a Windows OS and proper format easy to check. If not able to do that, download 'Everest Home Edition' freeware, a very simple useful diagnostic app, which can show you new HD set-up. If OK, download latest Java runtime (think its 6-03), and then download latest version LimeWire (4.14.10 - FileHippo is good because it shows all versions). Then carefully go through ENTIRE LW configuration according to your specs. If this does not work, Reply with complete system info so senior members can help.
Luck, caseybob

you reformatted...which means you had to do a new install of your OS....did you use recovery discs supplied by the manufacturer? or is this a one of build? if one of, then you probably forgot to install your chipset drivers...
