To everyone having 100% CPU trouble. If all of you posted as much info on your system as possible then maybe we could figure out the source of the problem. E.g. protective software, browsers, firewall, other P2P apps and anything that for some strange reason could make this happen. Maybe even computer brand and model, as it could possibly come from some brand specific accessories

Java and Limewire version also.

Just make it as detailed as possible. That way you can compare and find similarities in your setup.

I've tried just a restart on LW and makes no difference!!!

Thanks will do, I posted the 13 things on the list as recomened by (Birdy) can I add to the same post?

cheers M.

You could but probably a good idea to link to it from your post here then.

The 13 things that you speak of have to do with connection trouble and this is not a connection problem, but an incompatability problem as far as I can see

I had some trouble with the early 4.10 versions of Limewire myself. Never did figure out what was wrong.

Have you tried the new Beta?
It might just fix things up. There is a link to download it in "Open Discussion Topics" forum

Thanks again, how do you link from my post?? (you just knew that was coming)

I will try the beta version right now!!

You just open another browserwindow and goto your post, then copy/paste its address into your post here using edit.

Hello again I'll give that a wirl and tried the Beta LW 4.13, still the same
