thanks for your response to my post.

i have checked the download for the intel r graphics driver,and i do have the current driver (6.14.10.4543 ) installed.

i have changed the settings so LM will not start automatically.

so now my desktop do not degrade on start up.but it still reverts when i open limewire,so there is something else causing this inside limewire itself.none of the other progs on my pc are causing this reaction on start up.
