After the update from, I believe 4.8 to 4.10 Limewire just vanishes without warning. The icon remaines in the system tray, but as usual, when you put your mouse-pointer over it that disappeares also.
Limewire starts up, loads the old downloads (about 5 at the moment), stays up for 5, 10 or maybe sometimes even 30 sec's and then boom, gone.
These 5 downloads mentioned are the only ones in my "incomplete" dir because I deleted all my incomplete files to see if that would help. Get rid of any junk. Just in case so to speak.

I installed JRE1.5 I de-installed it to install 1.4. I de-installed limewire and installed an older version. De-installed that again when that turned out to give the same problem.
I followed the anti-virus thread and looked for any virusses. None there.
I defragged my hard-drives.
I deleted the .limewire preset dir. I de-installed java and limewire again and like in every step mentioned before of course I cleaned the registry with regedit.
I restored the Limewire default settings a few times.
Installed the betaversion.
Nothing works.
5-30 sec's of connection each time.

I have a AMD Athlon 2600
80gig, 40gig, 30gig (USB ext).
1Gig Ram.
