Well, well, well. Guess what? I found an email with the download page. I downloaded the Cleaner and ran it. It's a strange bit of business, and I'm really not sure what it's doing. But I opened Windows Explorer after and clicked on this and that quickly trying to get it to error out. It didn't. So here it's past time to take the computer in to Best Buy. You have renewed my hope that this may be dealt with at a home level.
As for CClean, it took me a while to run the set up wizard--lots of cookies to pick out of the myriad cookie list.
I wasn't at all sure what it meant by having me create bogus file names so "they" won't think I'm trying to hide something. What on earth does that mean? I did it because it said to. I was a little worried when it had me go through and select files to save along several paths. Once I was done, I rushed to open folders that have my unpublished (and un-backed up) short stories and novel chapters. They were still there. Only my MemoryMonster was missing from the sys tray. But it was in program files, so that was cool. I point my cursor at the icon in the sys tray and it tells me how much memory is still in reserve. Cool, I like it. Came from WinBoost, which I paid for, but have only installed the memory part.
So anyway, I have my computer to play with still, though I have to get up at 2:30 and it's 10:30 already. I need yo get some sleep here soon.
It was great to hear from Grandpa, but it sounds like they are working him far too hard. Of course, if it's a chance to build up a financial safety net, I'd be working the same hours and happily. I'm going to go for the spelling program myself. And I would love to find a real online dictionary someday. And maybe one for techies, too, because I have to get the meaning of so many words by how they're used, in context. And when the whole sentence is way over my head, I'm lost.
But all is well, since I was able to get CClean. Are people allowed to take a free software and use it to force people to put themselves out there for advertising phone calls and such? They even wanted my work phone number. Outrageous! I did the 555 one, but it didn't like that, so I added some odd numbers in there to get it to go through. And I gave them a wrong home phone number too. If they email me, I'll mark it junk mail and that will be that.
I hate being marked for a sucker. Which I am, unfortunately, but I dont like folks like that knowing it.
Why can't I write a normal length reply? I just have so much to say. I could use an editor, I think. Get ideas down to the bare bones. Which reminds me, have you ever gone to barebones.com? They really offer low prices for computer goodies so you can build the computer of your dreams. Someday...
Grandpa is probably having sweet dreams right now.
I have access to a satellite feed computer in Baja, so I may sign on to Hotmail, so I can link to the forum.
I've said good bye, good night, sleep tight four times tonight. Could this finally be the real thing? It has to be.
Thank you, Hopper, for turning me on to CClean. And so many other things. I still want to know what games you play and how into it you are. I've dreamt of gaming, but I already spend so much time on computers, between work and home. I just might never get off the computer at all, if I found a game that really grabbed me.
Enough already. I'm heading to bed. 'Night all!

How many files do you have that are searching for sources when you connect to the net.

about 30 to 40

after i posted the last it connected at turbo for about 1/2 hr then disconnected. I reconnected but the best i've got is fair to good then disconnect again and again.
Thought if i search while it downloads i'd keep the connection but it won't. It's been downloading alright a few files at a time but it won't connect so I can search when I want to.




Bill

You need to lower the number of files it is searching for and DL you are probably overloading your connection and causing it to become unstable. Try drooping the # of simultaneous searches and DL to 3 see how LimeWire preforms. If it does ok you can increase it until it becomes unstable again then drop it back a little until you find a # that works for you.

when I said 30 to 40 that was found files waiting to download not (options / download / Max downloads) that I had set to 10 but lowered it to 3 per your instructions.


Well deleted all the files i was downloading except 23. changed my max downloads from 10 to 3 then tried to connect again went to turbo then went for 1 hr then disconnected and now has started up as poor only after I went to search for more files.

Is this the way I understand that Limewire has been changed to work If I'm not searching it will go to sleep but still download files that I have in my waiting files but only upto your max downloads.
