To stop your comp freezing (Hope you have plenty of ram) make sure your Java is up to date (LW only installs Java 1.3 but a later version is better):

Also go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.
One other trick is Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000
