Friday Morning: I take back my last comment - managed to get 2 hours of uneventful, crash-free downloading out of Morpheus late last night - after my FAT 32 check solved the "GnucDNA" issue. And my cat doesn't really smell. Something else interesting happened today - I left Kazaa running while I made my breakfast (marmalade on toast, today). It crashed (probably within half an hour), taking my system with it.

Now I'm convinced that the problem doesn't necessarily lie in the respective programmes, (whether they be Limewire, Morpheus or Kazaa (even Direct Connect crashed)). It just strikes me that there's something about the whole P2P concept that doesn't fit very well with my XP machine.

As I now have my faith restored in Limewire - can anyone... ANYONE, give me some direction or guidance as how to solve this annoying problem?

Thanx,
