The developers cannot fix a problem that they cannot reproduce. Most people do not have the problem being reported here.

If you want the problem fixed then you must provide the information needed to track it down. A few people have managed to mention ther setup - thank you.

So far the problem has only been reported for Windows98/ME. Is everybody here with the problem running one of these operating systems?

Similarly Java 1.4 - is everybody running this version of Java (is anybody not running this version of Java)?

Is everybody running LimeWire 2.5.5?

Does the problem happen every time you close down LimeWire?

Does it make difference if you shutdown LimeWire after a few seconds or a few days?

Is there some other information that might be relevant?

Play around - try different things - experiment. You have the problem - so you should take responsibility for finding out everything about the problem that you can. Only then can the developers do something to fix the problem.

Nobody is denying that the problem exists - for a small percentage of people. It is really, really difficult to track down a bug on a system that doesn't exhibit the bug.
