Adam,

Thanks for the input. I have tried to use the java console to get more info, but did not see anything there before the software got too slow and I quit.

I can tell you that the response delays do not occur unless I am actually connecting or connected to the network. If I am disconnected, there are no issues.

Also, I would not use the word crash, as the software does not acutally seem to cease functioning. For me, it seems like the CPU is suddenly so loaded with instructions that it is unable to process keyboard or mouse input until it works its way down the stack. You type, nothing happens for a very long time, and then the text slowly appears in the field. I don't think that it is actually generating any java errors, because your commands will eventually be executed if you don't mind waiting a few minutes.

Are there any other system settings I can check? I did upgrade from 9.04 to 9.1 without effect. I increased limewire's memory allocation to 20,000 k; nothing. I am running with virtual memory and the ram disk off.

Hope that helps.
