I was also able to run limewire on my system.
Maybe try downgrading to JRE 1.4.2?

Also, make sure you have AA and AF turned off in your video drivers. I saw somewhere that they cause problems on some video cards with limewire

My CPU is alwayz maxed out with LimeWire 4.9 dunno y and i have 512 mb, its LimeWire. Cause LimeWire 4.8 i never had any problems, this new one is just problems!

Ohh and i Have a
Compaq Presario
3300+AMD 64(2.40ghz)
512Mb DDR
250GB HD(7200 RPM)
DVD-RW/CD-RW

I havent upgraded my graphics card yet so!

hey all,

Just a note to let you know, I have fixed it on my PC.

The problem did indeed turn out to be that I had Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering turned on the the video driver.

Check your driver and make sure they are set to 'Application Controlled' The setting is under 'Quality and Performance Settings' under advanced in display properties settings tab.

To make that easier to follow,
Right click desktop, choose properties.
Select the settings tab at the top
go to advanced.
In the new box, choose the tab labelled with your video card.
The tab should also have the nVidia logo on it.

When you click this tab, a menu will pop out to the left. On this menu, choose 'Performance and Quality settings', and you should see 'Antialiasing settings' and 'Anisotropic Filtering' in the lower half of the dialog box.

Good luck all

I have an Athlon XP not a 64 chip...

I checked the anti-aliasing and filtering settings and they are set so the application determines the settings. So much for that option! I guess I'll just have to run it on my laptop which is running Ubuntu...

OK, assuming that the Graphics card is not the problem, there seems to be a general consensus of downgrading your Java VM to 1.4.2

That means uninstall Java, reboot, then download the JRE 1.4.2 from Sun's Java Site

Give that a go, and report back

Cheers,
Chard

Edit: Also, if either of these methods do work, please post back here and say which one. Thats how forums work best

ok guys ive used both version of java, turned off all special effect on my gfx cards, disabled sli, installed all current drivers, and whole smoregusbord of other things, and my problem is, when i start up limewire nothing happens, except i see limewire.exe in my task manager, it doesnt show up in the system tray though and it doesnt even seem to load.

Specs:
AMD 4200 OC 2.64
2 EVGA 7800GTX 460 mghz each, 1.3 ghz ram
160 gb western digital ata-100
2 corsair xms 512 (1 GB total)
Asus A8N-sli deluxe
windows home
anything else?

You games might be changing you graphics card settings I know from personal experience. The 64 bit chip has nothing to do with it I run a 64 and on C:drive I run XP Pro on D:drive I run XP 64 limewire work great on both. Best guess it is a graphics issue the link below may help.

If that doesn't do it post back it is possible you have a bad Java install.

AMD 64 3200+ OC 2.3Gh/z
EVGA e-Force NVidia 6200
ASUS A8N Deluxe
4 - corsair 512 registered 2GB
2 - Fujitsu 74GB Ultra 320 15K RPM SCSI 0-RAID
1 - WD 120GB
C:/ Windows XP PRO
D:/ Windows XP64 Beta

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out the AMD x64 chip as being a contributing factor. It seems that everyone here is using an AMD chip, and the majority are x64 based. Maybe x64 combined with advanced video cards is causing problems.

This issue does seem to be exclusive to AMD cpus.

I too run XP x64 OEM on annother hdd on this system, but hardly ever use it becuse I dont have any antivirus for it yet.

The fact that your using an x64 chip with no problem doesn't rule it out as a contributer to the problem, just means you dont have the other contributers.

Thanks for the link though, seems to be the same solution as previously mentioned here for ATi based cards.

Booman: under the processes tab in Task manager (Cant remember if this works in XP Home) check to see if limewire.exe is using some huge amount of your cpu.

If not, I would suggest that your problem is not the same as the others here. If it is, recheck your display drivers. Your system is so uncannily like mine, that I would be very suprised if it was a different cause.

fingers crossed,
Chard

I believe you are wrong there I actuall run 3 AMD 64 CPU and 1 Intel and none of them have problems related to the CPU but both AMD and Intel have had the graphic card issue.

Alright, I stand corrected.

Anyone here still having problems?
