Limewire opens and runs but the mouse / touchpad buttons don't work! I have to go to task manager just to close the program!

I have reinstalled it, installed the newest version of java, deleted the file .limewire etc etc all to no avail.

windows xp service pack 2
plenty of ram and hard drive space.

none knows why this happens? is it an XP conspiracy? anybody somebody help us please.

The only fix I've been able to find, that works, is:

So, if you've already deleted the preferences & reinstalled Java then try doing an AV scan & see if there's some malware in your system.

Someone else might have some more ideas??

I defragged and do it regularly. None of the normal fixes fixed it. But it is mostly working now but I'm not going to try Pro again.
