thanks, realy helpful for a new bird like me, another question : should I leave LW open while I donn't download or doing things later.

No Problem.

Hi please ignore my ignorance re settings but I was really interested in your comment re CPU usage, when using limewire etc my machine can go to 100% useage and freeze. I tried the suggestion given but in the options and advanced I do not have performance - the only comment re TLS is under SECURITY, where it has the box ticked for use TLS 1.0. am i looking in the right place - I am really fed up having to restart my machine.

thanks

Well what version of LW are you useing.Some of them dont have these settings.

told u I was computer illiterate - I was doing it in explorer thinking it was the network link instead fo realising you meant from within LW - have now done it , will try it out and see if it works. thanks for getting back to me so quickly :)

Na you really dont have to leave your Lime wire on all the time i dont.But some people do.

Can anyone help? I've downloaded Limewire, but when it comes to instal I get the square green screen up to 12 percent and then it stops

Are you saying when your trying to instal Lime wire in freez's AT 12%.Sounds Like a Java Problem.What Windows are you useing Xp Or Vista.

Try this to see if this helps.
