troubles with limewire
 

i am having an issue with lime wire in that it says enabling open sharing and it is slower than dirt i mean i am able to download pretty quick but every time i click a button or type in the search window it is sloooooooooooooow and going back and forth from search window to search results it is uber slow as well.

Using the Resume/Find Sources function on too many files at once can have this effect. Using the media player can also slow it down. When you open up LW, let it settle before using.

trouble with LimeWire
 

so i have tried letting limewire settle down before using but it never settles down at the top of the window it says enabling open information sharing and that never goes away it used to go away but not any more. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. i have tried opening limewire and walking away from the comp for up to 30 mins and still it's the same thing. i click something ie: any button and it's slower than dirt.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much 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. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
