Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 I also had slowdown problems but only with 4.8.1 on the screen. If i minimized it, the pc would pick back up and run fine. I thought it could be my video card (nvida fx5500) or something, but i get the same response on my laptop (ati mobility). I'm running jre 5.2 on both machines.  |

| If you havent already done it, I reccomend that you set limewire not to connect automatically as soon as you turn on your pc. This helped me to make sure everything was running smoothly before I opened LW 4.8.1. I have no problems unless I download a lot of things at once, If i run more then my pc either crashes or slows down and limewire starts running at like 50,000k.  |

| Limwire Slow Running - Solution?? As mentioned in an earlier post regarding LW (upon loading) taking up 100% pf CPU resources. With nothing to lose, I reset LW options back to default. This meant that I had to set up LW options all over again. Fortunately, I quickly found that by reducing the amount of files shared from my library, the % of CPU required by LW dropped to quite low amounts. (This was unforseen by me and quite a surprise) I found that when sharing about 4,500 files, (and yes, even after LW had been given lots of time to sort and load these files) CPU usage eventually stabalized at about 58% and stayed there. When I reduced shared files to about 75, LW CPU usage stabalized at a mean of between 7 and 10% with the odd high spike, that I think is about right. This is not good for the LW P2P community, but it works for me. I haven't attempted yet to calculate the point where amount of files shared actually pushes CPU usage up beyond acceptible limits. I share over 5,000 files on Shareaza with no problems at all, so if my conclusions are correct, there must be a bug somewhere in LW Pro. Incidentally, I'm really interested in finding if this solution works for others or is a local thing. Regards, KKlutzz |

 this website may help This doesnt completely have everything to do with the prob, but I can tell you right now that having more than 30 processes running in task manager is almost a sure sign you have spyware on your puter. Maybe not in your case, you may just have a zillion programs running that you have installed. But be VERY VERY Leary as to what is running in background. As having so many processes running like that can SERIOUSLY slow your puter down, even if it show only 7-15% cpu usage. I have a MAXIMUM of 32 processes running and they are the bare minimum to run anything I need. But as for the this website it is www.theeldergeek.com , now this website HAS alot of GREAT information that works fantastic. It will tell you anything you want to know about tweaking and processes.you name it,this site has it. Anyways, have fun......SOULKILLER |

| Watching taskmanager, my machine runs about 95-98 percent idle. Run limewire, bang, 0 percent idle, 95 percent limewire. I'm sharing about 15 files as I'm new. There's a bug, no doubt. Didn't have any problems until I upgraded to 4.8.1. In other words, 4.6 ran just fine. |

| Hmm try a couple of things: 1. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire 2. Whilst LW is open click on the Progress bar on the downld window. This will arrange all files by %. Then scroll down to the 1st at 0% & select it. Then scroll down to the last one at 0% & whilst holding SHIFT key select this one also. So with all those incompletes at 0% selected, click the Stop button. Then go to your incomplete folder (outside of LW), view it in list mode & by size. Then delete all those at 0 KB. This will reduce a lot of drag on LW when you open it. Also when you open LW, let it settle for 10, 20 or 30 mins before using. And don't use the Resume/Find Sources button on all your files b/c this WILL cause side-FX such as slowing down your comp & LW, perhaps affecting LW's connection quality, & maybe even affecting your modem. |

| thanks Hello all, thank you for all your help. I followed the instructions that one of the guys give me about lowering resolution and setting it to 16 bit instead of 32 bit. Believe it or not it helped. SO I guess the problem doesn't reside in JAVA, it is NVIDIA drivers thats loaded on the system. Will have to wait for another version of nvidia drivers to come out and upgrade.Thanks guys....  SOULKILLER |
