As soon as I would launch LimeWire the system freezes completly, no SysRq, no
ctrl+alt+delete, the only way is to do a cold reset. Any ideas? i have also unstilled and reinstilled all the lastest versions of limewire, yet i get the same problem, ????? I am using XP

2. Check to make sure you don't have a virus: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link) (particularly point #4 where ctl-alt-del has no effect.)

Neither worked, i have updated avg virus scanner.
However after some time thinking i have found out that i had instilled my grapics card in which is a geforce 6200 and the drivers i down loaded from they site "nvidia" i have attached the drivers and software which wouldnt let limewire work, soon as i unstilled them it worked,

its 2 big to attach, its the driver set for the geforce 6 seris its 21 meg

Ah so it was your graphic card that was the issue. Unfortunately you'll either need to use the alternative version of drivers or ...
Which version of drivers is it that people should be wary of when using LW? ie: & Which update?

81.98_forceware_winxp2k_international_whql.exe
is the file name which i got from nvidia

Thank you! I've made a note of it. I may even add it to that sticky about the graphics card issues. Thanks again!
