help needed -- LW runs SLOW
 

when i open limewire on my machine, it loads incredibly slow and doesn't even come up all the way -- i'm missing typical windows menus (like the file, etc. at the top) and when i move around the page it takes forever for the mouse to scroll over things and click. all other programs are running fine.

what i've done....uninstalled LW and upgraded java to latest version. reinstalled LW recommended version, uninstalled it, and installed the "offline" full version that was recommended if the other version didn't work correctly.

my computer is a brand new gateway -- 2.59 ghz, 1 gig of ram, 100 gig of hard drive space, 64 athlon processor -- the computer is FAST with everything else. LW ran fine on my old computer (windows 2000, 80 gig of hard drive, 512 meg of ram)....go figure.

someone PLEASE help me -- i loved the way i could scroll around and multitask within LW before .. now i can't even get main menus to come up

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. Use the manual installer for Java
