StevO Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 anybody on here use lime wire? im havin a nasty problem with it basically, it opens on start up (ive got that turned off in all possible places) and then tries to open itself every 10mins or so, even if it is already open. even if i shut it down it opens again right after. and when i uninstall it it opens anyway. ive had to delete the file (only in safe mode as it wont do it any other way) its annoyin me real bad!

StevO Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 its not a start up problem exactly, its not set as start up in any location. its just constantly trying to open itself, even when it is already running! not just start up. about once every 5-10mins the programme will boot up. even if its running already, so i end up with limewire running the same programe more than once,at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Stopped using Limewire some time ago, Bearshare instead now. Find it much less problematic and hugely faster!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwensTopBananas Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 limewire is a p2p netwrok program? a lot of the uber geeks i occasionally converse with swear by emule and bit torrent (azureus) there are plenty of forums, and people happy to help you out 'so i hear' but im sure the mods and admin on this forum do not condone software piracy, the advertising of programs used to share pirated software, media and music and do not condone any warez reccomendations. (disclaimer, im not doing your job, im just highlighting what i do elsewhere ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
