I had tremendous problems after I loaded XP onto the machine with Win98. I finally ended up losing ALL of my downloaded files (over 1200 mp3s), when FAT 32 became unstable and made the computer refuse to startup AT ALL. The quick fix- reinstalling XP with the "new" file system NTFS, failed. I believe because traces of the evil FAT32 remained. I have had to format the drive, reinstall XP and everything else yet again.

But XP then told me that Java was "damaged" so I downloaded from Sun the newest version. Thus far no problems. I'll just be busy putting the files back on the machine from cd's and downloading the ones I hadn't backed up.

I don't think the problems lie with Limewire, it's either the thing on the desk or the thing on the chair. In addition, the problem with corrupt files seems to have stopped with the download of new hot Java.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy
