freeze, My mouse pointer turns into a tire skid mark
 

Hello Techs. I have tried to use limewire classic several times on my Mac os 9.0.4 400mghz 448mg ram. I have tried turning on and off extensions and I have even made a set (extensions manager) just for limewire with the bare minimum turned on ie. internet, keyboard, etc. My computer keeps freezing and my mouse pointer/arrow turns into a square tire tred. It looks like a skid mark. I have never seen this mark before. At that point I can't even force quite I have to push the reset button on the tower. Please help me I have been trying to use limewire for about a year now if not longer. The program works for about three minutes before the freeze. Thank you for your time. Ryan

PS: I would hate to ask but if I cant figure this out can you recommend another program to download music using the same network preferable or equivalent for Mac.

arrow/pointer turns to tire skid mark!
 

i have been using limewire with no problems for 5 months on my e-mac with os 9.1. Recently i havnt been able to use limewire because when i open it, a minute or so later my arrow/pointer turns into what looks like a skid mark. I try to force quit but that doesnt work so i end up turning off the whole computer. I have tried re downloading the program many times with no success. Is there anything i can do?
