I know what you mean.. But it's not XP's fault.
Actually it's the Limewire.

My XP froze (I mean really really froze) every time my limewire had been running for some hours. At first I thought it was winxp, but I've come to realize that the pc never hangs when limewire isn't on. I don't even have to be connected for limewire to freeze my computer.

I suspect it to have something to do with limewire reading the contents of my cache and cookies. something reads em, and it only happens when I run limewire..

I'm not so sure that it's a great idea to code limewire in java, but I'm even more unsure if it's a great idea to invade people's privacy for monetary interests.
