I just installed LimeWire today, and all appears to be working great, however, when I exit the program I get the error that "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor". Since I'm exiting the program anyway, it's just a pet peeve, but thought I should bring it to your attention. I'm operating on Windows 98. I tried reinstalling the program, but still get the same error upon exiting the program.

The details are as follows:

LIMEWIRE caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7b992.

I get the exact same problem. Even installed it on another computer win 98 second addition (same as first). I also get the 'blue screens of death", and have to restart.

I have a problem when upon shutting down Limewire, I get the following
error:

Limewire functions smoothly though, and ugrading to v1.4 hasn't helped
either. Is this a winsock related program because i have Netsonic Pro 3.0
and AdSub running in the background and i think their installation might
have messed with the winsock files, but i can't be really sure.

I'm running Win98SE, on a 128MB 450Mhz PIII system.
BearShare and Gnotella both don't have this problem. Help!

I get a message when I exit saying "Limewire has caused an error in WEBHDLL.DLL Limewire will now close"

Fine by me.. I wanted it to close anyway.. still, kinda strange.

I'm guessing I get a different error message than the rest of you because I'm using WinME?

And I use Win 98 SE
Strange !!

The Limewire is not perfect but we want answer for errors !

Well I figured out it.. wasn't limeware's fault it was some stupid program called webhancer. I don't even know how the *#@% the program got installed on my computer.. but I uninstalled it and the error went away.

Fuking Webhancer ! I desinstalled this ****in prog too and my Limewire is ok.... How this prog Webhancer install in our computer ??? bizare !!!

Thanks again SameHere hehe

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are aware of these issues and are working hard to solve them.

We will be releasing LimeWire 1.4c sometime next week, and it will include a new version of the Java 2 Runtime Environment that we hope will clear up some of these problems and that should speed LimeWire's performance significantly.

Please note, however, that the next version of LimeWire will be a maintenance release. This means that will will probably choose not to notify you on startup that a new version is available -- the update pattern that we have been following for any release with a letter at the end (as in LimeWire1.4c). So, to update to the new version, you will have to visit our web site on your own. If you long for the new version, I would recommend visiting our web site by the end of next week to see if it is available.

LimeWire 1.4c will also include the option to reduce the program to the system tray on Windows.

Thanks to everyone for pointing out these bugs.

When i shut down lime wire I get a meggage that says errorKERNEL32DLL What doe this mean
