I stand by what I said.

Failing to create icons is not a common fault in LimeWire - I've not seen anyone else complain of the problem.

I think that LimeWire couldn't create the icons because there is a fault on your system (possibly the 'access rights' problem that you have) - you may not have noticed it until LimeWire - but I think it was there before LimeWire. It is possible that the fault occurred when you installed LimeWire - maybe even due to a corrupt download of LimeWire - but the fault is independent of LimeWire.

As such - there's no advice unique to LimeWire that will help you fix your problem.

I recommend you find an up-to-date virus scanner and scan your system. After that - scan your hard-disk(s) (chkdsk or whatever).

Beyond that - if you want to avoid starting from scratch, you have to find out exactly what and where your problems are.

Memory access violations can only be caused by a running program. When you find out which one you have found your problem (although it might well be explorer - in which case you have a problem).
