You don't happen to have Alcohol 120% installed too, do you? I had Limewire, Azureus, and Alcohol installed, and haven't used Azureus in a long time, but for quite some time, Limewire closes just after it gets to the GUI page. Then I wanted to use the new Azureus, and it did the same thing. Their help wiki suggested removing Alcohol. The instant I uninstalled Alcohol 120%, both Azureus and Limewire started running just fine.

Hi Aviator Dave.
Thanks for your input man, Ive been scratching my head for days on this one

Bob!! Do you, or have you used, Alcohol app on your computer

Peace.

don't really want to uninstall norton as had major problems installing it in the first place

could it be this

the screen resolution for my normal desktop if different to when i play the game so when i exit the game the screen is enlarged and when i click the screen it reverts to what i set it at could this as when i use internet explorer and then exit that the screen resolution doesnt change and i can happily open limewire from the system tray

praise be

Its your choice Bob,
So you paid for a three legged donkey called Norton,so why stick with a program that costs the earth, misses most of the threats that are found by AVG FREE antivirus, & its known to be problematic with file sharing apps,& there's so many versions it may be Quicker asking Norton how you can configure it to work with Limewire.
But if you don't answer Questions I'm just left in the dark as to how I can help, Look back over this thread & try to give feedback.
Check the vista forum
good luck

P.S...The other point you made sounds more like a Vista bug, a symptom, not a cause.

uninstalled the 3 legged donkey (norton) but still no difference

just about to search the vista forums

if you hear anything that could help give me a holla will keep an eye on this thread

Bob
Norton has a removal tool to completely remove norton, It wont properly uninstall from add n remove programs, so thats why no difference, Go to their site
& download their brute force uninstaller.

I actually don't think you will find an answer to this one...

It wouldn't be Norton stopping you from running the two programs together, it's a matter of limewire and the game you are playing being just to much for the computer to cope with...
Do you ever experience any lag in your games when you have to many other windows open ??...
I know when WoW is being run on my computer and I want to check my inbox, it will take ages for my emails to load...
My suggestion would be to run each app at different times...
