Yes. Normally a selection or combination of the fixes will get over your problem. How about trying this ... set up a new account & try running from there. If it doesn't work then delete that account.

Could try the beta I guess. BTW do you have your graphics card settings for games.

cool.
What do you mean by set up new account? like windows account?
my graphics card is a 256 mb ATI Radeon card with desktop running at 1360x1024 ( ive tried combinatins lower rez just incase = no go)
I guess the only option i havent tried is remvoing my java, but I stronly dont want to do this cos of the sizes of my java ie

j2se development kit 5.0 280mb
Java web start 2.06mg
Java runtimev1.4.1_02 172mb
j2se runtime update 8 152mb
j2se runetime updat 10 119mb

Whule iam here what is Javas purpose in life ( and can i safely get rid of some of the above without comprimising system operations, ie that runtime updat 8, as i have update 10 would this make 8 obsolete?)

Tried Beta version = no go
I have a theory via the process of elimination
timeline of limewire usage from working to defunct:-
* Limewire working, happy happy joy joy
* Limewire stops working ( 2 weeks later ) displaying same symptons as today
* renewed my virus protection ( of which i discovered 10,367 virus/malware/spyware etc - i dont put all these issues on limewires doorstop, just most, Lesson for all, use virus protection with limwire)
* deleted virus etc
* tried to run limwire , sysmptons are the same

I think during my downloads from limewire ive attracted a malicious program specifically aimed at limewires booting process & installation procedures which is the reason iam having ongoing probs.

Anyways justa thought. Kinda a shame really cos i was thoroughly enjoyinh limewire. Either way I appreciate all your help, will continue to try fixing somehow, and will continue trying any options you may provide
Thank you
