Windows Crashes
 

Greetings

Well I'm using Windows2k3 server edition, JAVA Version 1.5.0.6, Limewire 4.10.5 and whenever I open Limewire, the Windows (OS) crashes, also I tried another alternative by opening limewire and then connecting to the Internet, on click of any buttons or even tab control the OS crashes. Thought it was because of Virus or Trojan but couldn't find any thing. I badly need some suggestions to overcome this problem.

Have you been to through this thread? Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!.

Possibily try changing the compatibility mode (step 5).

Also can you give a better description of what happens when it crashes. Blue screen, keyboard locks up, error messages, ect.

LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see)

Greetings

Thanks for a quick reply :)
Here are the details (FYI I did mention it earlier)
________________
Limewire Version 4.10.5
Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0.6

_______
Initially it (Limewire used to crash (Hangs / Keyboard Locks))
Now it simply RESTARTS the computer without throwing any error.
I face this problem only with this software and all the other programs works fine.

Thanks you very Much

I was little apprehensive when I made the Changes for the COMPATIBILITY option. Finally it worked without giving any errors. Hope that there won't be any problems in near future.

Thanks a lot for your timely help:)

Windows 2003 Release 2.0

I know this is possibly a silly question to a man who has (or controls) a server, but have you updated your O/S to release 2 yet?

It is possible that this may stop your crashing problem, anyway here is the MS blurb which may help:

Hope this helps.

Well frustrated with the behavior of the Software, I was forced to uninstall the same, sorry I made a hasty decision by saying that changing the COMPATIBILITY option the software worked. Yes it did work only for few minutes and after that as usual it restarted the system, tried downgrading the version of the Software from 4.10.5 to 4.97.x faced the same problem.

I'm using server 2k3 say for the past few weeks, installed the OS only for the robustness but what it is happening is just the contrary of it.

Same Issue with crash
 

A few weeks ago I updated to 4.12.5 and since that time when I open limewire and connect, after a few minutes it will crash the computer and restart it.
I then updated to 4.12.6 hoping this will solve the problem, but it still happens.
Has anyone know why it is doing this and how to fix it.
Any help apprieciated.:)

same thing happens for me...

is it possible that it is a security setting if yes which one???

Thanks

What happens in the crash. Be as descriptive as you can. Also what is you OS and java version.

the computer either just restarts or i get a blue screen just before the first song has finished downloading.

I am currently trying some of the steps which were in the thread above, "fixes for limewire when limewire isnt workingproperly"

Java is 1.5.0

and i am using windows XP, SP2

sorry if they r a little vage this is my first night

Thanks for the quick reply

Do you get any error messages? And which AV do you have?

the only error message that comes up is the blue screen

Sorry but what do u mean by AV?

This thread will take some time to go through, but some of the forum experts have contributed good information on how to help you with this....
