Hello I have a problem with lime wire when I open lime wire it's makes my screen go black then the screen will come on and it changes my graphics on my computer screen. When I try to change the graphics lime wire shuts down? This just started happing. I have lime wire pro also too when I open limewire I have to go through the setup like selecting your country like when you first down load lime wire pro? Is there a file in lime wire messed up? When I shut down lime wire down my screen will go black then back to normal graphics like it should be. Sounds crazy

See if this helps
