Makes my Whole Computer Freeze
 

Typically within minutes of opening Limewire, it makes my entire computer freeze, and has done so since the first day I had my computer. Please help someone. Thanks so much!!!

Someone please help.

LimeWire depends on Java.

Is your Java updated to 1.5.0_05?

Yes.

If you've had problems all along, then might I suggest some things. Perhaps your system doesn't like Java 1.5 This is not uncommon. For some people 1.5 does better, but for some, 1.4.2 solves their issues. Uninstall your Java using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Then downld the "Offline" version of Java 1.4.2 & install it from your computer & see if it makes a difference. You can find a link for 1.4.2 from point #1 in this link: Fixes for Limewire

After that, when you open LW, let it settle for 10-20 mins before using. And don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

I agree with Lords, there is one question i hoping for you to answer, do you have use pervious version of LimeWire before?
