This has happened to me to, please find me a cure!!!!

I am having the same problem listed as above, but I cannot even click on the Add/Remove part of the control panel without my computer freezing and having to restart. Whenever I click on the file that all of my downloads went to, or anything else Limewire related, I get an "execution prevention" error and windows tries to send a report. I can't get to any of the files that I downloaded over the past 8 months!! Any new suggestions?

Could you guys answer The lords question of what graphics card you are using.

Grandpa, forgive me for being an idiot, but tell me where to find it and I will give you your answer!! This problem has really shutdown alot of my access to my own system!

Go to Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Display Adapter

It will not tell you the brand name but it will tell you the platform and chip set as you can see mine is Nvidia GeForce 6200

Radeon X300 Series is what it said.

I figured out a quick fix for this problem, you guys tell me what you think. I pretty much just did a system restore to the restore point of yesterday morning. Since I didn't start having this problem until tonight, I thought I would try it.

Sure enough, it worked. I can now get to all 900 files that I downloaded in the last 8 months, and am currently in the process of downloading the new version of Limewire. I will keep you posted... apparently some system setting gets changed by something, causing the problem. It's worked so far, but Grandpa, let me know if you have any other ideas......

Sounds Like Java somehow got corrupted

Ok, that fix turned out to be only temporary. I tried to use limewire today and the same thing happens. my old file that I used to download music to freezes everything when I try to click on it, I can't click on add/ remove programs with anything at all open, and now when I try to do the whole system restore thing, it doesn't let me restore to an earlier date. any suggestions?

Have you tried un installing all versions of Java from your computer. then re installing Java.

Sorry to jump in...but I've un-installed both Java and Limewire, and re-installed both, and am still having the problem. :-\
