Newbie With A Problem

[ZodIzGod]

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm new to the board so i would like to start by saying Hello to all I have been using Limewire for a bit now with no problems, but recently
I keep having the same irritating problems that are driving Me nuts!! Now here are the problems..First whenever I download Limewire the installation is completely fine and the program works BUT whenever i am done using it and shut it off the program will open up on it's own while i am doing other stuff on the computer slowing my computer down considerably. Then i shut it off once again and it keeps on doing the same thing over and over. Next problem..since i was getting so frustrated with the situation i decided to uninstall Limewire alltogether which worked to some degree, the program doesn't open and run, but the opening loading graphic keeps popping open with the following error message and making my computer crunch like crazy....

LimeWire version 4.12.3
Java version 1.5.0_03 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows Me v. 4.90 on x86
Free/total memory: 2780776/4128768
