hi everyone, ive been using limewire fine for about a month now, the other day i defragmented my pc with the windows defrag, and since then limewire keeps closing down on its own after a few minutes. no warning or close down sign comes up or anything, it just disappears. i havent adjusted anything else on my pc or connection. ive tried defragging again, using a registry fixer, and uninstalling and reinstalling limewire again, but its made no difference. any ideas please???????
