So i had limewire installed on my comp and it bugged. Some java issue that kept poppin up. So you know that window that comes up when you press ctrl+alt+del yeah that wont come up anymore so i cant see anything that i may need to close ever since limewire bugged. I uninstalled limewire and still that window wont come up. Dont wanna restore my comp cause for some reason all my restore points are gone.

This is probably obvious, but did you restart?
Just2Fresh
Sony=the fail at comps. They know nothing. And yes i have restarted a couple of times.

lmao dominic u noob, well hmm I stopped using Limewire, due to alot of java problems and secret shet installing on my comp. you can probably completely remove limewire. completely remove Java runtime and reinstall it dont forget to restart your comp bro.

i dont know what to say but that sucks. you should instal protection for your computer. its helps. like mcafee. or norton.

Try scanning your computer for viruses and spyware, if you didn't already. It could just need a good scan through Ad-Aware to be fixed.
Just2Fresh
Used ad-aware, i have norton and still nothing.

Uninstall it. Use Kazaa.

Do you have trouble unstalling it?

I've never had a problem with Limewire. I have had many issues with Kazaa though.

What you might want to do is just uninstall and reinstall (which has probably already been mentioned).

Nevermind, I just read that you've uninstalled it.

Have you tried removing Java by using the "Add or Remove Programs" screen (if it's visible there)?

SYSTEM RESTORE

^ Well, he did say his restore points were gone (for whatever reason). So he couldn't if he wanted to.

The same kind of thing happened to me about a year ago with Kazaa. I dumped everything and completely re-installed Windows... and it worked.

So if system restore or anything like that doesnt work, give it a try. flowers.gif

kazaa is worse. mellow.gif

But I used to use Kazaa and I've never had any problems. mellow.gif

I dont know how Kazaa is now, but its killed my computer on more than one occasion. I've had better luck with Limewire and Bittorrents.

no actually why don't you learn to read, nowhere does it say you reformatted your computer

shut up now. to fix it, delete the file limewire on program files before the pop up comes back.

Here's a thought; why not buy for downloaded songs? Try iTunes or even WALMART MUSIC! 88 cents a song at walmart (wma format) and 99 cents at itunes (mp3 (better) format)

These type of downloaders won't give you any problems, while shareware may plug viruses or in your case, bugs.

Songs from the iTunes Music Store are .m4p files, not .mp3. It's still a better format than .wma, though. _smile.gif

WELL DELETED THAT PROGRAM
AND GET A NEW ONE
I SUGGEST GETTING BEARSHARE
