crashes IE
 

I have noticed the same problems. Running P3, 600MHZ, 640MB Ram, Win XP, IE6.0, if Limewire is running, and you key any keys while in IE or even Windows Explorer, it crashes it.
Need assistance before I upgrade to Limewire Pro.

limewire pro has same type of promblems and it's almost impossible to get help. it seems to me if you pay for something you should be able to get some help. i've been trying for about a week now.

Make sure you are at the latest version of Limewire. I have experienced several different issues with other versions. I have downloaded the newest (free) version with XP, IE 6.0, 600 MHz, 640 MB Ram, 50 GB hard drive and I encounter zero problems with Limewire 2.2.2.

I have downloaded the latest version now and I have the same problem. Everytime you want to enter a URL in the IE the IE crashes.

This also happens in Kazaa 1.5.x on my laptop. Whenever Kazaa runs, Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 6.2, and Windows Explorer die.

Running Windows 2000 Pro SP2, ICQ, McAfee VirusScan, Synaptics TouchPad, ActiveSync, Dachshund Battery Doubler, O&O Defrag. I also tweaked the registry to run the explorer-related processes in seperate threads.

This happens to me as well, I have a workstation @ school with the newest limewire, and it does just that. It also likes to crash explorer too. Oddly enough however, Here at home, i also have an XP machine and it has never crashed once because of limewire. Very odd.

Maybe Cydoor finds the program it was installed with and then runs one of its buggy functions. If the same problem is also with kazaa, that points into this direction.

I had the same problem and it appears to go away once McAfee is closed.

THIS is Cydoor
 

This problem is directly associated with the Cydoor Advertising System (distributed with LimeWire, KaZaA, Opera, and many other progs) and the McAfee VirusScan WebScan Module. Although Cydoor has cleaned up their act considerably and is very close to not being spyware, it is still poorly written and causes problems.

There are three ways around this.

1. Delete Cydoor at
Windows\System\cd_clint.dll (Win 9x/ME)
Winnt\System32\cd_clint.dll (Win2K/NT)
Windows\System32\cd_clint.dll (WinXP)
or with Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com)

2. Replace cd_clint.dll with a dummy file; a benign dll which tells the host application that all is well, but nothing more and displays no ads (Useful to maintain the ability to use KaZaA, but not necessary for the recent versions of LimeWire) available at www.cexx.org/cd_clint.zip extract to said directories above.

3. Disable the WebScan module in McAfee VirusScan. It's not too useful, but is still nice to have kickin around.

Hope this helps, :)
