Angry
Limewire

I have this REALLY annoying Limewire problem:
Once I launch it, and it's idle for about 1-2 minutes, it CLOSES itself!
Then when I re-open it, it closes after a few SECONDS!

when I say closes, I mean it! The icon is gone.
I have it on my sister's laptop, and I don't have any problems. I've had it on this PC for months, and never had a problem before just a few weeks ago.

Make sure you have the latest updates, or as an alternative do what I did and upgrade to the PRO version, as it is a lot better.

Just go out and support them! I use cracked versions of programs myself, but for $20.00 I ask you to just support LimeWire, so the cost isn’t spread upon the legal users.

Make sure your anti-spyware recognizes it as a "good" program or it will try to delete it.(Limewire,Kazaa, Bearshare,etc) This happened to me with Spybot and Spy Subtract, especially SpySubtract, it won't even let me keep it on for a day.

Don't worry guys, I reinstalled it and solved the problem a while ago It re-occured again, a reinstall didn't fix it, and I don't quite remember how I fixed it

I use that program also. Over the past couple months my music downloading has come to a halt because I have read many cases of people being taken to court over it. I hear that it is ok to download but they are looking and catching the people that are sharing lots of it. Is this true do you guys know of any good news articles? Do yall still download?
