And here it starts. Save yourself the trouble. LimeWire has gotten so many bugs now, it is only a matter of time. If you do manage to get it running, it will only quit in about 2 or 3 hours anyway. Go to www.xlife.org and get Acquisition. I use it all the time now that LimeWire sucks so much.You should not have to work so hard to get your software to run right. Acquisition just works great. I have never had a problem of any kind with it. Good Luck...
