You didn't say what your operating system is. If it is Microsoft, you can go to the support page and go into the knowlege base and search for uninstall and clean install. It involves going into the registry, so make sure you know what you are doing. Read and follow the instructions carefully. When one program fought with MS Millenium, I had to change some of the endings to dll's, etc. When my software programs fight with each other or MS, I found answers, both with the software help and MS help. An uninstall and clean install will most likely solve your problem. LimeWire works well with about anything unless you somehow have corrupted files...so the above steps takes care of that or whatever is causing the freeze Good luck!

angelboo123,
Go to All Programs, hover over LW & you'll see "Uninstall".
Now just go ahead & uninstall

Default clean install

The prpblem with simply uninstalling a program is that parts of it will remain until you uninstall all traces and then clean install it again if desired. A simple uninstall might work if you do not want to use the program again, and you hope it didn't mess up any other programs...

Thumbs up

Thanks birdy,
I had completely forgotten about the add/remove program button on the control panel. That did the trick. Thanks to everyone who replied!
