For starters uninstall the Windows Defender software. Not only does it take up
too much memory, it also interferes with LimeWire and always has tried to
delete it even before Microsoft bought it from the original developer.
Also, if you still have that Etomi software, uninstall it too.
It is probably interfering with LimeWire.
Run Hijackthis again, click "Do a system scan only" and put check marks on these items: (If you uninstalled Windows Defender and etomi then those items should already be gone.)

Now press the "Fix checked" button and reboot. Your computer will seem much faster already.
LimeWire might work better but if not, there's probably a little more cleaning up to do.
Memory prices are really cheap right now. See if you can get another gigabyte
for your computer. The specific type is probably "400MHz DDR - PC3200".
The parts guy will know what that means. |
