Limewire Freezes, is it AOL?

[adh_147]

I have this frustrating problem which I cannot find a fix in that LW freezes after about 10 seconds after start-up. I have followed the advice posted in many threads regarding reinstalling both java and LW but without success. I've run CCleaner and other suggested applications.

I temporarily fixed the problem by installing earlier versions of both LW (pre 5.1.3) and java (5.xx) but this was short-lived. I'm not sure this makes any difference, but I searched Windows registry for anything relating to LW and deleted it before the reinstallation. I have since tried the same but without success. O/S is WinXP

Is it possible that my ISP (AOL) is preventing LW from opening?
Any help on this would be much appreciated, I miss the convenience of LW.
