Hi, I am the original post of this thread ( previously "unregistered"). So just continuing, now registered as "digidan". thanks

Thanks Janet for folloowing through. You are obviously more advanced than I in these matters. I appreciate it.

Downloading in, or using of Limewire isn't the problem. All I have to do is launch Limewire, and everything else almost stops naer dead, immediately. As a matter of fact, trying to launch any other program while Limewire is running is impossible too.

Is it possible that my G4/400 processor could be an issue?

I am using 10.2.2, and have been updating my other software as anything becomes available. Could it be another software conflict?

Thanks for the continued attempts to solve this.

Dan
