Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. 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 (home, school, 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. Is this the 1st time you've used LW or are you an older user with a new problem?

1 . Windows XP Home Edition
2 . No firewalls installed
3 . 15.4 GB
4 . Broadband = 512k
5 . Modem is Speedtouch
7 . I am connecting at home
8 . Java Version 150_2
9 . What happened was limewire was perfectly running on Java 1.4.2 until one day I loaded it and it would'nt come on and remain minmized on the menu . I searched the forums and found something called Fix Limewire . I upgraded Java and it froze on LW 4.2.6 and then I upgraded it to LW 4.8.1 and still the errors remain .

So please tell me what I should do , Sorry for the delay since when I loaded limewire to check my Java Version it did froze again,
