When I use Limewire I can't watch videos?

When I am listening music my screen wil pop and I'll only see 3 icons on my
desktop?

So I can hear things (when I'm playing a movie or listening music) but I can't see anything when limewire is on?

LW might be using too many resources. Some tips:

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins or longer before using. Let it settle down 1st.
* Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear.
* Close all LW windows you don't need open at that time.
* If you're not in front of your comp, then hide LW in the tray.
* Reduce uplds to about 70-80% or more. Reduce downlds to 80 or 90%. (Tools>Options>Downlds/Uplds>Basic)
* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. 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.
* Downld skills & tips & see xtra links: To continue files downlding (click on link)

You could try the LW 4.9 beta which will use less demand on your connection.
