cpu = 100%
 

I just installed LimeWire on Windows 2000 Pro. The processes LimeShop.exe, wjview.exe, and 2 of javaw.exe are using about 95% of my CPU, with the system using the rest. There are no other applications open other than LimeWire.

As a result, even screen redraws are taking minutes. What do I adjust?

Bookit,

Give this a try -

Go to - Tools, Options, Uploads and set the bandwith to a lower number. It probably defaulted to 100%. Try a lower number.

Good luck,

Norm

no, that's not it. It appears to be the javaw.exe process, which can claim up to 95% of my CPU.

This prevents me from using LimeWire at the same time as ANY other program.

You might try another version of Java just for Limewire. I have had the best luck with 1.3.1_04 with Limewire. I use Java version 1.4.1 for my other applications but I have had trouble on an XP machine with 1.4.1 and Limewire

Be sure to open the console on 1.3.1_04 and uncheck the browser tab for Netscape and IE then open the console on your existing version of Java and make sure they are checked there.

I hope that will help you.

the only version of java I have on my machine is 1.3.1_04. I cannot open the control panel on the plugin, however.

Try opening control panel and right clicking the Java icon. You should be able to open the Java console.

this still doesn't help. the javaw.exe process takes 100% of my CPU within minutes.

I don't see anything on the console for the control panel which will allow me to control this.

Is this SOP for Java? Many Java processes seem to be very slow, especially in launching.
