running limewire: lags!!

[RiCH954]

when i use limewire while im surfing the web it lags the songs playing =( is there like a small version of limewire that i could use or any suggestions on how to fix this?

Are you using the LW player? It's pretty horrible & can suffer when the computer's busy. Disable it & use another player.

=( i like using the lw player cuz its right there and and it would lag my comp probably even more cuz more programs are open!

Are you useing 56k beacuse it will do that on a 56k but if you have Dsl it really should not lag or on less your pc has a slow processer.And cant handle the internet and playing music at the same time.
