HELP ME PLEASE...THX

I don't want to scare you, but if my computer would do such strange things, my first bet would be a virus.......programs are not supposed to act like this, unless they are told to do so; either by configuration or by some nasty controlling it.

Check your system using any of these programs (I reckon using all of them):

http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG)

http://www.ewido.com(free trial which can still be used and updated after the period has ended -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you can't get rid of it go here and get some free computer help:

I just got told that it is not necessarily a virus.

This could also be hardware related. Could be graphic card driver problems, heatsink not good enough, or fan not strong enough, or bad ram chip, etc.

That might not be the case this time, but could be ...

thx dude, but no, i dont have nothing of that no virus , no spyware, IM CLEAN

that happend in all my computers, my pc reboot when limewire is oppening, the only way to use limewire for me is using 4.6 or 4.8, that versions, dont cause me any troubles, but 4.9 or better YES:bangh:

any other ideas???

THX

1. Try this Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

2. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Doing these might stop LW stressing your computer that causes this to happen.

3. Go to Norbie's world & he has a general computer problems section. There is probably an out of date driver or something that is only triggered by LW when it runs. http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/Forums/c=6.html

THX guys

i'll try all that

but this is ridiculous:bangh: , i have a great computer Pentium D 950, 2 Gb Ram, 1000 Gb disk, ge Force 6800, XP Media center

can you tell me how to make Limewire not start automatically i acidentally did that at the beginning and it slows my comp down when i do

Tools----Options----Advanced-----System Startup, unclick the box

I have the same problem, every time I want to open lime wire, my pc restarts!!! i dunno if this has something to do with the error, i found it on the lime wire folder :
