Sound Interruption & Dragging Computer
 

Hello- A few weeks ago, I was given the link to download LimeWire when i was having issues connecting with the 360ProShare. Since then, I have been progressively having worse issues with my computer dragging more and more as well as choppy sound on my computer when playing ANY music. I had this exact problem when I bought music through iTunes this year and had to do a system restore and get it off of my computer. I love this program but am very frustrated because I ran Norton Anti-Virus yesterday and am still having the same problems. It DID correct my LimeWire connection issues I was also having, however. I desperatey do not want to end my use of the program but do not know what to do. The slowness of my new computer is hampering my job and I can't go another day like this. Should I run Spybot or some other program to see what is haunting my system? Thank you for your time!

Hi just click on your task manager and see what your CPU usage is and post
it
P.S.With L/W running

Sorry...can you tell me where to find the task manager on xp? Thank you!

Right click on taskbar at the bottom, Choose Task Manager,at the bottom of the page should be CPU reading, ok just shout any probs

CPU Usage is 100%.

Sounds like you have a problem with java Try uninstalling java, then reinstall
using the off line installer not the (recomended) one, jre1.5.0_09 is the up to
date version. Important! OFF line installer.
Let me know how you get on.

I tried to find Java on my programs by going to add/remove programs and it was not listed on there. Is this the correct location or would it be under any other name? To clarify...is jrel1.5.0_09 the version you recommend and can I find that on the internet? Also...what do you mean by OFF line installer? I learn quick but need to be told once. Thank you! :)

Oh, boy! I found Java on my hard drive. It is the _06 version I just downloaded yesterday via LimeWire's recommendation. According to what you said, this was not the correct version to download. Now do I just remove that and do a search on the net to find the new version to download?

What version of L/W are you using

4.12.6
