i'm using the latest version of limewire basic. i'm on am imac, 9.2.2, dsl connection, 192 ram, enough space on the hard drive.

ever since i downloaded this new version i've had nothing but problems. i can search for 1-3 items just fine. then, the more i search--or am downloading--the more it stalls. then, it freezes (mouse moves, but rest of computer takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to execute commands) then it blanks out part of the screen, which sometimes comes back, sometimes doesn't.

the one command it won't accept, at this point, is "close" or disconnect. at this point, i have to force quit. i lose my downloads, searches etc.

the last version worked perfectly, but this is making me not want to use the program--and this has happened each time i've used it. and leaving it alone and coming back 1/2 hour later doesn't work.

help!
