It's great to hear that I'm not alone on this. I am frustrated that I can't get to Limewire or whomever creates this stuff to get them to correct it. I had a long chain of discussion in the wrong forum, I think it was mac osx. You might check it out. If you come up with a solution please drop me an email RZimm1@erols.com

Second point. I had saved a bunch of songs in a folder I kept on my desk top. Normally they would start playing in realplayer as soon as I double clicked a particular title. Yesterday I wanted to play a few. I clicked on the folder Icon and it wanted me to use a start up application (I may be mis-stating this) or something. Never having gone through this I guessed at realplayer as the translator. Now the icon on the desktop says realplayer , songs won't start and 'Find' won't locate an artist formerly in that folder. Is this some cruel plot? I'll have to change my gnutella name to paranoid.
