Frostwire crashing
 

well i have been having problems with frostwire and limewire bothcrashing, i have the latest java installed and what not, i had gone so far as to just downloading the java runtime to try and keep it from crashing (just closing on it's own) shortly after starting this the log that i had it make.
hope this log will help you all firgure something out, i have been having this problem on both laptop one an acer 3002lci and other a toshiba te2100 one xp home sp2 and other xp pro sp2. both almost completely new install with very little installed on both of em.

Were you using Java 1.4.2 before this with any problems? If not, uninstall Java 1.5 using your Add/remove programs control panel. Then install Java 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (Choose the JRE) & choose the "Offline" version & see if it makes any difference.

Yes it is a Java crash and not a FW crash. Do as LODR told.

Ciao

trying to get it now and try, thanks

well did the java install 1.4 but still same thing, seems like it crashes as soon as it connects to the network, I can play around with the software if i don't have it connect, but as soon as it connects it goes *POOF* and it's gone

here is the log from the last crash

Do you use a spyware program & if yes, which one? As far as I can ascertain, it appears that bmi_lsp.dll is causing a conflict with your Java. See http://www.spywaredata.com/spyware/m...mi_lsp.dll.php which is a part of System Spyware Interrogator. It seems that's what's offered by AOL http://www.spywaredata.com/spyware/s...ware-about.php

I'm aware AOL offers a spyware program that is not compatible with LW & it appears FW also.

I guess the question is, is this .dll really necessary for any devices on your system? I would recommend going to NorbiesWorld (click on link) to find this out.

nope no spy ware these systems are clean installs except firefix and the stuff that came with it, and free download manager, haven't even put norton on yet because i wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to be causing a problem.
am doing a search on the dll in question atm. will see what i can find.

ok this is what i have come up with so far, that dll is needed by limewire and frost wire, that dll is used by my sprint pcs connection. if i rename the file i get a message "Limewire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or looback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the intenet and restart LimeWire." same message for for frostwire but names reversed ;) so i will see about updating that software and see what it will do.

That's why I suggested going to Norbie's world to ask what the dll is used for & whether it can be removed (Norbie doesn't only help with virii, etc. but also general system problems.) I noticed at least 2 of the links I left they recommended removing it. But if it is a necessary file for LW & FW then leave it.

But that's quite a severe Java crash you're getting. It looks as though it's totally failing. And the error seems to stem from that dll. But perhaps the dll is not the cause but just an item in a chain of actions but the one that Java sees as failing. ie: the origin of the failure may be in an earlier step. I'm not windows savvy enough to know. But as you said, it seems to affect both LW & FW.

I notice you're using laptops. Have you been to their support sites to see if those particular models have any issues? Are they networked & how are they networked?

Did LW & FW work ok before? Or is this your 1st time using both LW & FW? Any changes to system that might have changed things? Anything you can think of that might have affected them before this started happening?
