I constantly get several internal errors when starting Limewire.. It takes atleast 20 minutes just to open it completely to be able to search.. Even when I do finally get it open it runs slow and also freezes up for a few seconds some times.. As well as when I'm downloading, my downloads will drop to 0 kb/s for short periods of time then increase.. It never did that before when I had no internal errors. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling limewire, doesnt work.. I've tried deleting every file/folder that has limewire in it.. I could not delete the folder .limewire

It says that the directory is not empty and when I try to open it ask if I want to format it now?

I've also tried using CCleaner to clean registry and temp files etc.. I still have the same problem.

This is the internal error that I get upon opening Limewire...
