Sudden reboots sometimes happen when you have a bad, old or over-burdened power supply .
This is the only reson I can think of causing random rebooting .
If this is the case then it's not Windows XP it's fault .

I have heard about Windows XP deleting your "My Documents" folder if you have multiple profiles though .
And I mean there really gone !
Booted up from Win98 DOS disk and couldn't find them on the HD's anymore !

Hi,
I have the same problem and it only started when I downloaded the latest version of Limewire!

Frustrating to say the least. I will be uninstalling it along with removing any SPYware that is hanging around on the C: Drive....

It ONLY reboots when Limewire is running so I can only draw 1 conclusion.....

Adios Amigos,
Paul

First Things... Right Click on my Computer, Choose Properties at the bottom, Click on Advanced; click on the last settings button under startup and recovery; Under system failure, make sure automatically reboot is not checked. . upgrade to limewire 2.2.2

Make sure you are at the latest version of Limewire. I have experienced several different issues with other versions. I have downloaded the newest (free) version with XP, IE 6.0, 600 MHz, 640 MB Ram, 50 GB hard drive and I encounter zero problems with Limewire 2.2.2.
