 Help Me!!! I´m having a general problem with my HP Windows XP. I really hope someone can help me. I restored the computer to a previous point of time to get rid of some prestanda related problems. But before I restored the computer I uninstalled my music studio. Now, since the computer "restored back" the jmusic studio is back in the computer. But I can´t neither use it properly nor can I uninstall it from the Add/Remove program list. I get a message that says: Could not find INSTALL.LOG file. What in the world is this? Why can´t I remove a software program from my computer. This particular program takes up about 1400 MB:S of space! Help Me!!!  |

| XP lock/ upPro glitches IMO the free v works better than the Pro .. I just d/l the Pro this afternoon It sticks on commands, the search screen blinks on and off, and I keep getting kicked off my d/ls and now the icing on the cake...it just froze with an internal error and crashed.... Total waste of money and it's probably going to the trash can If they don't get off their collective A*** with their no refund policy with programing this poor they are likely to find their rep in the trash. Me I'm on my way back to emule.  p.s. where's the java scripting stashed that was referred too? and what's this html document in the file? donotremove.htm 0kb? |

| locks up with 98se, too! I downloaded the latest version of "free" limewire yesterday and noticed later on that everything would slow to a crawl and I would get messages about not enough memory/resources to open a window, etc. That generally hasn't been a problem before. Tried restarting several times and that seemed to help for a while each time, but eventually everything would get bogged down again. I'm running Windows 98SE with 192 MB RAM. Today I noticed the same slow down problem and I hadn't started limewire at all. But hitting ctrl-alt-delete to open the "end task" window showed several things running but also showed "limeshop" listed at least a dozen times!! I have since removed all traces of limewire and limeshop and everything seems to be running smoothly so far. |

| I really think that many negative posts here are illegitimate. Limewire is extremely stable and heavily tested on certified platforms. We can't guarantee a good stability on systems that have been upgraded multiple times to a newer OS, without also upgrading the hardware or the display driver. I am convinced that most problems lie within the hardware or its drivers, most commonly the display driver DirectX support, which can be bogous and freeze the computer. Beware also of your legacy harddisk DMA support drivers. If they were developed for Windows 95/98 and not upgraded to a newer Windows 2000/XP driver, you may get lots of trouble in any graphically intensive apps. Also if you are using FAT/FAT32 filesystems, they are not as fullproof face to application or system hangs in various applications, and filesystem corruption or errors tend to cumulate to a point where files will start overwriting themselves. The NTFS filesystem of Windows NT/2000/XP is a real improvement for system stability. Its performance cost is not significant face to the many problems it avoids, notably face to corruption of data structures: NTFS resists much better because this filesystem is journaled and knows how to rollback automatically any unfinished transaction. If there's only one reason why someone should use Windows XP instead of Windows 95/98, it's certainly for its support of NTFS. Upgrading to Windows XP without converting the FAT/FAT32 partitions to NTFS is really a bad choice you'll regret. Also don't trust Microsoft when it says defragmenters are not necessary: an extreme fragmentation occurs after about 1 month of use, but shamely its defragmenter is really poor. Some excellent defragmenter will save your harddisk from failures (I can give you some names: Diskeeper (try at least its free limited version) which can perform background defragmentation to maintain the system performance, and PerfectDisk which is slower but still faster than Windows Defrag and does not maintain the performance as well as Diskeeper but has a better FULL defragmenter (which can successfully defragment all NTFS system files). Personnally I use both: PerfectDisk once every month to perform a full defragmentation, and Diskeeper that runs in the background and performs even faster and better if all the system files have been fully defragmented by PerfectDisk. With both of these tools and NTFS partitions, Windows XP is now much faster and more stable than with Windows 98 on my old PC upgraded multiple times (Windows 95, 95OSR2, 98, 98SE, ME, XP and its two services packs), including new larger and faster drives, more memory, a SCSI controler, a new display board, a new power supply and box, and finally a new motherboard and processor, ... Don't forget Windows Update and driver updates... My best PC has evolved multiple times step by step, without needing to reinstall all or loose all my past files since 5 years, up to the point where most of its components have been upgraded, and I have a second fully working PC that I converted into a Linux server.

| Something Old, New, Borrowed & BLUE SCREEN !!! Big agreement with you on the defragmenting comments... Both excellent applications... Essential, really. The boot-time function in Diskeeper is especially valuable for controlling the damn spreading paging files ! And your alluding to the fact that there is almost no negative trade-off in using NTFS instead of FAT32 is spot on ! Also your words on the fact that many of the negative posts are unfounded... These negative feelings are understandable because the frustration can be so great when an application seems to be 'buggy' and , "My OS has been fine for years, until now...," pops up as a defense... Or, "My old machine cannot be at fault with this latest software !" Windoze 98 and 98se (even just alone and without 'incorrect drivers' or third-party DirectX disasters) cause enormous problems with nearly every p2p client out there. However, the real problem in dealing with the whole issue of Windoze 98 is simple... It is still a very dominant OS out there in the real world and... AND you can play DOS games on it with zero probs or 'special' abilities ! THAT is one of the biggest problems in regards to many of those who also wish to participate in popular p2p networks. It has not been pushed hard enough to the public that, just as DOS had to 'give way' to 'Windows', Windows has to give way to NT and the derivatives of NT... The effort to maintain 'backward compatibility' is a nightmare for developers. p.s. Sure does seem that M$ is slowly changing tack and moving back on course with rational developements of 2000 and away from XP. btw... I normally run 2000 Pro but, for a couple of months now I have been using a borrowed machine with 98se, PentiumII 366mHz and 5.7GB HDD... My sympathy levels for all of these people have increased ENORMOUSLY !!! Be assured, all of you LimeWire folks out there, that BearShare and Windoze 98 give the same crap shutdowns and lockups ! And that's without any Java 'goodies' !

 Should I stay with Limewire? I just downloaded the Limewire and not sure if its all that!! I'm knew at this and thought well it will take a little time to learn but after reading some of this forum I'm not sure if I want to continue with it! It's so slow and not easy to learn. I paid money for it too. Should I stay with it? I want to be able to listen to music without interruption! I want to learn how to download the music onto a CD and be able to get anywhere between 10 to 15 songs on a CD. I bought a couple of songs throught the internet legally and I was only able to get 1 1/2 songs on the CD and I don't know why it took so much space? I have windows xp and windows media 9 player that I used and downloaded on a TDK 80 MIN 700MB CD-R... CAN ANYONE HELP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT i DID WRONG? THANKS |
