Limewire shuts down while running out of windows programs.

IAmMe2 · #1 (**permalink**) March 31st, 2007

For some reason every time I run a game, limewire shuts down. The icon remains in the taskbar, until I move the cursor over the icon, then it disappears. Its when I run games, namely Warcraft 3, WoW, Homeworld, among others...

Quote:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

1. Windows Vista Home2. What firewalls you have?
3. 2 Gb
4. 65 Gb
5. Cable equivillent
6. Intel Wireless card, Linksys router, don't know the model numbers...
7. Home
8. LW v4.12.11, Java 1.6.0-oem
9. Ripnet
10. It says 'Your test worked!'.
11. Two other computers connect wirelessly, through the Linksys router.
12. New problem with experienced user.
13. Yes there is a brick wall.

Any suggestions?

Did you ever have to port forward for WOW or did you connect no problem..

Connected with no problems.

Do you think it may have to do with the resourses that the games use, as limewire can take a bit as well, maybe it's to much for the system...

Next time my son gets on TBC wow I will fire up limewire and see what happens and let you know...
