Single user, very standard system.

I moved to OS 10.2.1 about a month ago when my ADSL line was installed. My kids immediately downloaded LimeWire (2.7.3) and started sharing files. They've kept the computer so busy that I havedn't had a chance to install much more: Netscape 7, AppleWorks, a few games and utilities.

I moved to 2.7.13 because of the Window Manager bug. Once everything looked OK, I decided to organize all may large .avi and .mpg files into a single folder (2GB) on a separate partition from the systems disk. When I did that everything fell apart.

At the suggestion of some one on this forum, I downloaded 2.8.0Beta in the hopes that it would solve my problems -- it did, and created a rash of new ones.

I repeat what I said earlier, 2.8.0Beta doesn't appear to me to be anywhere near release.

Note: in my problem #2 above, I said that I didn't know when 2.8.0 would allow other applications to run and when not. I think LimeWire is OK if it's the very first application launched after startup. BUT, I suspect that if you launch other applications, exit, and launch again too many times, eventually Window Manager will go crazy.
