Default Re: Slow Computer

What are the specs on your computer (CPU,MEM, Internet Connection etc.) I would start by making sure your computer is not acting as an ultrapeer. Also the cause of system slowdowns is virus infections and spyware. You could start by downloading the Anti Spyware Tool from Microsoft

You should also check to see if you have any malicious software running on your system.

Check those two out and let us know what happens.

Sorry I sent that message because I thought your last post was for me.
I got Limewire from your site and only paid $18.00.
My only problem in that when I us Limewire It slows my computer down so if I use other programs while it is running it takes 30second or longer to react to everything. even the limewire is slow loading taking about 1 1/2 to two minutes. All my downloads are 1-15kbs sometime one will go to 20kbs but never higher. It take me three to four days to get download. I have dsl and I have read some of the earlier posts and has the same problem plus the slow down.
I just don't know what to do up until about four weeks ago limewire worked fine and I could us other programs and the internet while it was running.
