Well, I do see that it takes up about 60 , 000 K - 170,000 K in memory it actually increases alot, and when it runs the cpu usage seems to go to like 70 - 80 % I have like 70 processes running usually. Then when I end the process of limewire, the cpu usage goes down alot. like 10% so what do you suggest?

maybe you have a poor java installation.

I have the same problem with version 4.14.8 and java verified fine on their website with version 6 update 2. Although I am running vista but if he has xp then its the same. Its limewire.exe and uses a cpu of 40-50% but it says 100% cpu usage on the bottom of the task manager with no other processes showing anything more than 5%. It says 77,608K for memory and physical memory is about 46%

Get 5 update 11 most people go fine with that.

I shouldnt have to because the official release of java is version 6 update 2 and it should work fine with Limewire.

err as far as i know a LOT of people use 5 update 11 and they're happy with it if it doesnt work screw it. If you're not willing to cooperate then i wont help.
