Greetings,
I've never posted to any web forum before, so please forgive me if I don't know my way around this Forum yet. I have a MAC iBook G4 with 768 MB RAM running OS 10.4.8 and Java 1.5.0. Recently I upgraded to Pro 4.12.4, and so far it stalls and freezes on all functions, including use of the LW menu bar. Opening Preferences, for example, as I went down thru the pages of Options, response time slowed to the point where I could no longer check/uncheck any options at all. I had to force quit LW. Doing an audio search, results take much longer to appear than in my older version, and then, if I try to download anything, before long the whole program freezes. I can't select anything or even scroll the search window (although I notice that uploads are happening). I'm just dead in the water. Like my old version, 4.12.4 Pro slows down everything else on my computer, but at least the old version was usable. This one is not. I know that Apple doesn't like Limewire - did they put something in the latest iTunes (7.0.1) to disable it? Is there a way to optimize my Prefs to get some use out of this program? Please help if you can. Gratefully, Jeff
