General running of Limewire...

[Gummy43]

I am reasonably new to this medium so forgive me if I am in the wrong place. Your redirection will be heeded.
My problem is that for some reason I am not able to get any version of Limewire to RUN without 'STICKING'. It takes only a few seconds of running before I get the dreaded "Internal Error" noitces and they come pretty fast and often. The mouse can take up to 5 minutes to get from the bottom of the sceen to the top most times.
I have even downloaded and installed the latest beta version and it just keeps happening. I have to resort to CTRL/ALT/DEL to exit the programme most times.
I have and AMD ATHLON 1800 with 1.5 gig of ram. The latest version of Java. Windows XP home with all the updates. DSL connection with D_slam (24mb/sec) and all port numbers have been entered in both the firewall and router.
I have no problems logging on but all the trouble in the world trying to stop it from being 'STCKY'. It doesnt matter if I am running other programmes at the same time or not, The same thing happens.Limewire just kills the computer's smooth running ability.
I have uninstalled, cleaned cookies and temp files. rebooted, done viri and spyware checks and rebooted before installations too.
I have also reinstalled with firewall and antivirus software turned off. I have also rebooted the computer before logging on to lime wire.
I havent had this trouble before, it just something that has developed within the past 2 weeks...It takes over the entire computer and once the Limewire has been shut down the computer behaves normally.
HEEEELLLP. I dont know what else to do.
