Every time I go to download a song, instead of showing the name of the song and the artist it just shows up as music and then appends of that, i.e. music(1). It won't even download all the way, and it won't preview. How do I fix this? I've tried taking off limewire and then reloading it, but I get the same result. Please help!!

System details - help us to help you Please.

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.
So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:
