With version 4.8.somthing i forget and 4.9.28 windows seems to consistantly crash on me. Not a blue screen of death, but rather the screen freezes and the red "working" light stops flashing. A curious point however is that the modem "working" light keeps going. I have nothing to do but hit the reset button <ctrl><alt><delete> does not work. Any suggestions? I have add-aware and AVG free edition both come up clean. I have re-installed windows (i have XP Home) nothing seems to remove the problem i dont want to stop using Limewire so any help would be apprieated. (This problem also happened on the beta)

very confusing indeed. Please Help.

*Edit* *Edited again*
Please if you have this problem reply and outline the following:
1. Version of Limewire
2. Version of windows (pro and home are different. If you dont know then go stert>run>winver it should pop up
3. Any other information that may be useful - processor speed, time before problem started, attempts at fixing the problem, etc.
4. Grafic card and driver version if you have it
5. Java version



- my info -
1. limewire 4.9.28
2. Xp Home version 5.1 build 2600
3. Pentium 4 processor, started i forget when, now happens whenever i reset windows and get updated
4. ATI radion 9600 pro dont know the driver version
5. java web start 1.4.2

Buddy I got the exact same problem. I tried reinstalling J2SE update 4 again and updated to the new ver 4.9.29 limewire and the thing still crashes everytime I open it. I want to fix it but at the same time don't want to reinstall and lose all my files.

Glad (sorta) to hear this is not only my problem. Firstly if anyone else has this problem please list specifics as to operating system, versions, solutions and failures, etc. I will keep an eye on this as long as it is active.

Secondly, Most other instances of this problem or similar problems have had the grafic driver or java version to blame. I know that some of the issues have been fixed with the new version of Limewire, but there could be more issues who knows. I have a redion 9600 pro and dont know what driver, but it seems to make sense as soon as i started updating it screwed up. most solutions for other cards said roll back the driver.

Thirdly (and probably lastly for now) I hope the creators of Lime Wire can take note and try to fix this problem. Please fix this! Thanks for your hard work in the program hope 4.9.30 is problem free!

Input is welcome!

Can those infected with the problem do me a favour...Install AVAST! antivirus software and do a On Boot Scan..See if u can solve the problem...

The link ...

And by the way...The virus scanner is free...

I do not believe it is a virus problem but rather a system problem, however i will try this bot scanner. Who knows, maybe i will need to come back and eat my words Any more help would be greatly apprieated.

A little more Info is needed you have a start but it is still pretty vague.

O/S windows 98/2000/XP

Ram 256/512/1gig

Hard Drive space free

Video card Radion 9800/Nvidia/Intel on board

LimeWire Version

Java Version

Connection Type and speed

Are you using a router

Firewall or walls

Anti Virus

A good description of your problem.

Open Task Manager by holding down Ctrl+Alt then push delete see what is running and how much memory and cpu each program is running especially LimeWire.

Same problem. Tried reinstalling. Run weekly virus scans, and bi-weekly spyware scans (Adaware, Spybot).

OS = MSWindowsXPHome
RAM = 1 gig
Processor = Pentium 4 3.4g
Video Card = NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Limewire version = 4.9.30
Java version = Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 1.5.0_04-b05
Connection = 100kbps Intel 537EP V9x DFV PCI Modem
Router = Broadcom Nextreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
Firewall = Windows firewall
Anti-virus = Norton 2004

Limewire was working fine. Then one day it started crashing my computer. Less than a minute (but not immediately) after Limewire starts everything freezes up and you can't open the task manager. You have to turn of the power to restart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Including any other decent file sharing software (not KazaaLite, Soulseek or Bittorrent).

Check out the link below if any of you do not fall into that category please post back. These types of problems can be very hard to figure out. Please read the whole thread.

I'm having exactly the same problem, but with LimeWire 4.9.30 and it was consuming like 112 MB of my memory.

In my case I do not get the "blue screen of death", Limewire simply causes my PC to freeze within a minute of it starting up. My version of Windows is completely ligit. The problem started seemingly out of nowhere. One day it worked, the next it started doing this. I made no major changes to my PC between the time it worked, till the time the problem first manifested itself. Help would be greatly appreciated.
