It takes about 45 seconds to load, I have ran norton antivirus 2006, spysweeper and adaware they were all clean. It still takes along time to load a new window ive defragmented my computer didnt help at all so i reformatted it and it helped i didnt think it was limewire so i downloaded it again and again same thing happened so i totally deleted limewire restarted computer and i didnt help at all it still ran slow so i reformatted again and worked fine well i got bored and needed music on my computer so i was forced to download limewire again and same thign happened once again so now when i open a new window it takes about 45 seconds to a minutes to load when i click it the page pops up instantly plain white page and it says connecting for about 40 seconds then it loads the page in about 5 seconds it also take about 45 seconds to connect to yahoo messenger/MSN messenger this problem IS from limewire there is no other possible reason for this i need help i cant reformat again i have too much important documents on my computer now to lose them all so if anyone coudl help me i would be VERY thankfull.Thanks :idea:
