Sounds like a hardware issue or incompatibility. Can I ask which brand & model of graphics card you have & which driver version for it. Has this only started happening since you did a system update or since when?

HI i have a legacy GEforce Video card.

This problem has been happening since i first installed limewire.

Any suggestions?

Hi platinummale

Have you made any recent changes to your display or display adapter lately? ie updated drivers

Might try setting the display to run in 16 bit color also.

keep us informed thank you

HI,

I have not made any changes to the system. I've just tried using 16 bit and its still not work. I don't understand how my dispay driver could interfere with p2p software?

This is really driving me up the wall coz i've purchased the prodcut and it doesn't work like it says it would.

Any other suggestions?

Make a note of your settings & then try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

After opening LW, let it settle a good 10, 20 or 30 mins before using.

Also reduce your shared files, & reduce your upld bandwidth to about 70-80%. Perhaps even reduce your downld bandwidth to about 90%.

Go to LW's prefs>Speed & tick disable Ultrapeer Cap. & press apply button.
Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear.
Close all LW windows you don't need open at that time.

Whilst LW is open, click on top of the Progress bar so all incomplete files are organised by % downlded. Then select 1st at 0% & scroll down to last & select it whilst holding down SHIFT key also all at 0% are selected, then pres the Stop button. Then go to your incomplete folder & view it in list mode & click on size column so all are arranged by size. Now delete all those at 0 KB. This will speed up opening of LW & reduce stress.

Disable the LW media player. So then your default audio player will play instead.

Also don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.
