irregular joe,

OK. I removed my old Java and downloaded/installed the new Java....it still locks up completley. I did, however, discover purely by accident that if I am playing Solitaire while I am downloading songs, it has not locked up yet. BUT I have to have the game running before I start Limewire. If I try to do it the other way around, it locks up. Any further advice or do I need to start preparing for a format job? Thanks again for the help.
