y does it close?
 

when i minimize, or exit out of my lime wire instead of it going onto the tool bar it automatically exits fully, why is this and is there a way i can get it to stay running so i can down load my music and use other programs at the same time

bradenh Hi.

In L/W go tools/options/system tray & tick the appropriate box.
OK friend,
Peace.

No!, he don't mean that. It really exits automatically . I have been waitting for LimeWire Team to fix this but they still.
Is this thing with the new Jave SE 6.0?... not sure.

Possibly!!,
How do you know what another person is seeing & thinking.

Koy battaney
Peace.

This happened to me and many others too. It is a common problem. Someone on this thread from LimeWire developer team said that LimeWire can't handle well with Jave SE 6.0.

Haithm Hi.

The JRE 6.0 is fine, Its the JRE 6. u1. that has some problems.

JRE 6. u1. Will work with Vista ok. NOT with Windows XP.
Peace.

So there is no way?
 

So what your saying is that there is no way i can leave lime wire running while using an alternate program? I did what you said in the first reply and it still does not work will the problem ever be fixed?

Hi bradenh.
You have given me no info on your computer setup, I gave you the most common solution hoping it was that.
You say!!
"I did what you said in the first reply and it still does not work will the problem ever be fixed?"

So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:
