I am having problems with Limewire, and I am wondering if it is similar to this problem: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=57607

I had sent an email to bugs@limewire.com, but the message was sent back to me, so I supposed that I needed to post here. Here is the email I had sent:


About a month or so ago, I downloaded the free version of Limewire. The past couple of days it has not been functioning as it should, and would start running when I didn't want it to. I'd close out the application, and approximately 2 to 5 minutes later, it would open up again. I decided that if I had uninstalled it, it would stop opening like that. But yet it continues opening up. So I tried to delete the Limewire folder from my programs file, and it wouldn't delete everything in the folder. So now it opens and gives me this message:

I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to solve this problem. I will also continue using your product if you could inform me on how to keep it from continually opening up at random, and may also even consider buying the pro version. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Amanda L. Matthews



If anyone could assist me with this problem, I would very much appreciate it.
