It sound like a problem with your Limwewire player, and I would suggest dissabling it and using another media player of your choice to play the files.

in Limewire's options or preferences>player you can dissable the player, and then click apply>ok. and if you go to your download folder (not the Limewire Library) and right click on a music file and select to play it with another media player and see what happens.

If you have problems following me, or if this doesn't work either, `it would greatly help us to know the RAM capabilities and the Free space available on your computer as well as the processor speed. I suspect you will find these things out in the controll panel, but I use a Mac and I really do not know my way around a PC
