I think that this reason is a result of government intervention. I sat down and watched what would happen and I experienced the same results as above. The connection to LimeWire would not connect because of peak times or whatever (im at college and it can connect sometimes) but when it fails to connect after about 10 minutes a prompt will come up stating that it couldnt connect. The only problem with this, or atleast for my computer is that instead of 1 popup, there would be a never ending supply of them. Another one would pop up every 5-10 seconds, resulting in multiple popups about this issue. It would send my computer into shock as it was dealing with new pop ups, as well as the ones already there. Basically it would bog down my computer to freeze symptoms and even though I could move the mouse cursor, nothing could be accessed because of the priority of the mulitple popups. I don't know the solution, but thats something that related to my problem that could be fixed by some technical background.
