There is a bug in the newer versions of LimeWire that causes it to disconnect while in the sleep mode hopefully the Dev's will figure it out before to long.

You probably have a graphics issue the link below might help with the minimizing issue and the blank screen.

hope this helps.....but seriously would think about doing a clean install instead of a the way you did....just keep in mind that when you install like you did....part of the old version stays ....but also keep in mind that you also may lose your incomplete folder...but there is a way to save it...and that is to move the folder to the same area your shared folder is.....myself i have two hard drives and both folders are on my massive storage slave drive so evertime i install i have to direct the save to this area...then it picks up both and i have my incomplete and shared folders...
take care.........

Hi there Hopper 393 and im your bosssss.
Okay, that explains your fast downloads, im your boss. (Hey, nobody's the boss of me! Heh heh.) I do music and videos and have had so much fun with both.
Is there no DSL locally that you can get? I was lucky to be living near one of Verizon's DSL hubs or stations, or whatever they're called. My friend, who lives two long blocks south of me can't get it.
Hopper,
I'll for sure check out the site on graphics. My card came with the system, and is fairly good, better than a lot, but certainly not for any serious gaming. And I'm not sure it's worth the 135 MBs of RAM it steals off the top of my 512, which is actually 490 now (some corruption maybe?) With the new stick I'll have 877 which is cool for me. eMachines told me my system will only take up to one gig. Last time I was in Best Buy, I drooled all over the video card displays, but the only ones I feel are worth tearing my system apart are financially out of my ball park.
By the way, when you mentioned upgrading your Java a while back, I flashed because I had just upgraded mine to the newest version. My screen never went gray, but it's mostly gray anyway, except in the middle where it's green. The graphics seem okay, in fact. What I get is the screens that only clear half away, and leave a portion inside another open window. Seems to me that would be resources, but I could be wrong, and usually am.
I was feeling grumpy earlier because I downloaded a whole 'nother porn movie instead of Crash...again. I couldn't preview it because of the codecs issue.
But in my rambling pursuit of the illusive miracle codec last night, I inadvertently downloaded DivX. And darn if the DivX player doesn't play all but one of the rascally files that failed on every other player. Pure blind luck. Wish I could fix something with logic, but I'll take what I can get.
Back a moment to the dozing LW: It's still going to sleep on me, but there are times when I leave on errands, come back an hour or so later and find it still on Turbo Charged. So I'll be grateful for that much.
And this is now officially novel length, or novella at least. Another aside: I have in a shared folder named eNovels under LW, the only novel of mine that never sold. Sci fi, horror, thriller book. I may have to put the eBook Reader download in there to make it easier to read, should anyone ever want to read it. It ain't bad. Honest. I know some of use guys read books, too.
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Forums are much more fun than I thought.
I'm outta here.

Take care sweetheart and hope you get things figured out....you see me bouncing this board or the one at afterdawn please step in and say hi....

Well, hello there!
Is afterdawn a forum site? Or your intention to be awake at dawn? If it's a forum, I'll have to check it out. This is the only one I've ever been to.
I usually get things figured out eventually, or find someone who already has and can explain it to me. (Wink)
I'll certainly aim a "Howdy" your way should we find ourselves on the same page again.
Thanks again for your kind feedback and gentle pushes in the right direction to find my answers. Much much appreciated.
Have a very good one.

Its the site that i give you a link too for software and codecs and recoders....burner's and rippers heaven...lot of free software there...and yes a real good forum board.....

http://forums.afterdawn.com/

Thats the forum page link there...and if you look accross the top of the page you will find all kinds of tabs...also go to home page ...and software page too.....you will find some very smart people there....and keep in mind it is a real big forum board...covers a lot.......also when refering to a down loaded movie....refer to it as a file........you know how big brother is cracking down on the things we like best......
and the divx is a good player too.....i have it in myself ....hardly use it though.....but once inwhile i do...mainly use my nero show time 2....or my power dvd from cyberlink....and yes i do have windows media player 10 in too.....
I do know of a place you can pick up nero oem version for maybe 4 $ plus shipping....oem is the stripped down version you get when you buy a burner sometimes...and yes i have boughten software from this place myself....and no am not trying to spam ...

haha alittle late on responding back but, Fu*k IT. Well i where i live, there is no DSL or RoadRunner available and it sucks. But i do have a Compaq laptop with wireless internet built-in and was wondering if i could just a buy a card and travel using internet?(I heard that from a friend) i dont' know how it works so goo figure. But is there is something like that, let me know cuz i would really want that instead of this stupid Dial-Up. oh well ... last but not least i read something about video game cards, well i have NVIDIA installed and it came with my laptop. I dont' know if that might be what you guys are talking about.

It's constantly dropping me too to the point it's pretty much unusable. It doesn't just drop istelf, it terminates my DSL connection. The modem connect light goes off and it resets itself. Seems to be getting worse.

Um.........experiencing all of the above, i leave the computer for a couple of minutes and LW goes to sleep, any longer and it disconnects and disappears completely, when I start it up again, none of what I was downloading is there any more, so like earlier, i was about 78% downloaded on a movie, and i turned it back on expecting it to be there but all of it was gone.............., I also agree with grandma, I ended up downloading loads of porn under names of proper movies..............plus some movies only download the sexy bits! Problem for me is, I'm pretty computer illiterate and I dont understand what you guys are talking about when you suggest ways to fix it.............. anyone wanna explain it to me like a 3 year old? Oh and i also want to point out that I only started haveing problems about 2 weeks ago when i updated to the new version. Before, i used to leave it on all night downloading movies and hey presto, loads of movies ready and waiting for me in the morning! I dont understand why just moving my mouse seems to re-awaken my comatose LW................... I need help but dont confuse me with jargon!

Here I am, a day late and a dollar short. I finally had to sleep. What a waste of good computer time! Except when I have great adventure dreams...

Hopper, you're so right about referring my downloads to files instead of...other things. I got to thinking about that and was going to ask in my next reply. You must be psychic, answering my question before it's written. I just hope I haven't already blown it, because Big Brother has the internet to watch with now.
It bothers me that I can't download a file just for my own pleasure. There's absolutely no money involved and the whole world has been doing it since the invention of the VCR. Oh, and I'm going to copy that link and visit the site. The words Free Downloads are music to my ears. I love thrift shops, too....

As for the issue that started this thread, if I'd had a clue, I would never have upgraded to 30. Too late now, since the older versions of LW don't seem to be available at the site. I just keep grabbing the latest upgrade in hopes that the disconnect/go-to-sleep issues will be fixed. The Ultrapeers on my connections screen seem to have every version of LW from the beginning of time, and very few of them have 4.9.30, 33 or 37. Or are on Pro.

Mine disconnected on me twice today, while it was supposedly waking up. I wonder what happens to the folks uploading a large file of mine? Can anyone tell me: am I just one of the "downloading from 10 hosts?" If so, then even if they lose my connection, they don't lose the upload. Right?

I'm really disturbed by what's happening to GCDEF and sambucabird. That just isn't right, to have your modem shut completely down, even worse to lose your file. Have you run a search on the system to see if it's stored somewhere, like in a temp folder or something? It isn't even in your incomplete folder? I think I'd do the complete wipe of the program, reg keys and all, and reinstall.

As for confusing you with jargon, Sam, remind me what it was you were asking about. I've been walking non-computer people through soft and hardware troubleshooting for nearly 5 years, so I could interpret someone else's steps for you. I'm a low-intermediate computer geek. (The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know.) As for wiping LW off your system and reinstalling it, the reg keys I mentioned earlier are the registration keys and they basically hold your whole system together. I would find a computer geek friend to delete the keys for me, just to make certain I didn't trash everything with one wrong click.

I'm going to check out some stuff I downloaded last night--six big files in one night, but my connection was good, and I was on the computer to keep LW from going to sleep. Here's hoping the files are named correctly, not in a furen language, and weren't created from the back seat of a theatre.

Happy 'pewting, everyone.

Rats! Sorry, Hopper, I forgot to mention that I already bought the whole Nero package, back a couple of months when I still had more dollars than sense. I really enjoy it. I got DVDShrink to use first, then use the burning or ripping or whatever it's called portion of it for the final process. So far, I've managed to fail to copy the "big" files to my Plextor drive, but I was using Roxio then. And lately I've been having too much fun watching my files and getting more. Oh, well.
Later...
