Default Serious Help... Limewire Closes Everytime I Maximize...

Ok, I just got a new computer. Before on my other computer Limewire worked perfectly fine, but now, if I try to maximize to a full screen program (such as a game), it just CLOSES, completely closes the entire client, which is really annoynig. Also, I can't seem to double click songs to play 'em as well, just little things like that are different which I think may be linked to my new computer's settings in some way... can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

All I can tell you is I'm encountering unusual problems, such as Limewire immediately (and completely) closing for no reason at all once I maximize another program (full screen). Maybe has something to do with my cookies?

My bad, really sorry, I thought that was just an ad or pop up. Wasn't paying attention.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) - Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? - Windows Firewall (hardly on).
3. How much ram? - 448 MB.
4. Hard Disk space available? - 54704.1 MB.
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) - DSL.
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? - Speedstream/Linksys 5100/WRT54G.
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? - House.
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. - Limewire PRO 4.13.0 (I have used the free version as well and the same problem occured).
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? - SBC Yahoo.
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? - It says "Your test worked!!".
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. - Yes, the router is shared with one other computer, just a wireless router connection.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. - New problem with an experienced user who just purchased a new computer.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 - Yes.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? - Port Forwarding.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall - Was using Norton Anti Virus, now AVG Anti Virus.
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). - USA.

Unhappy i get the same problem

i am yet another user of loimewire and i get the EXACT SAME THING!

from looking at your details, the only similarities seem to be avg antivirus, we both have windows xp and we both have a dsl connection.

the only problem is, these are the same at my dads but it works fine.

help anyone?

It didn't work with Norton either... I have no idea, I guess none of these guys seem to know how to fix this issue with THEIR client as well since no one is directly answering the question... anyways, it's so awkward how almost a duplicate of my previous computer can change these features so drastically and cause so many problems...

Default a possible solution

hmm

i just reinstalled world of warcraft at my dads due to a corruption in a file and once it was reinstalled it worked fine, but now limewire is doing exactly the same thing as what it is here.

Do you by any chance have the game, if so perhaps we can come to a conclusion over the problem
