I recently re-formated my computer, and installed LimeWire again. When LimeWire starts up, as causes a bluescreen to flash by for a split second, and then the computer re-boots. The bluescreen mentions something about memory dump, though there is not enough time to read the entire screen. Is this possible to change, so a screendump would be possible?

After I have re-formated my computer a number of times lately, I have realised that there seems to be another program that causes the instability in LimeWire. Thus after re-formating, and the first thing installing my LimeWire, and everything works find. Though after I have installed other software, e.g. office, ad-aware, divx, norton antivirus, acrobat reader, diashow etc. the problem occurs again. I have tried and uninstall programs in order to pinpoint the program conflict, though I have not found any correlation with any other program. Is there any program known to cause a conflict with LimeWire, and is such case which? Could it be ad-aware? Or is my problem something else, and in such case what, and what to do about it.

Please help, though this problem is getting really annoying, and I strongly need my computer and LimeWire for work and study. If you think you may be able to help me out, please post a reply here, Removed E-mail address thanx.

When Ad-aware scans it could cause freezing, specially when deep scanning....

Is Limewire normally running when Ad-aware scans?

Please also scan your computer with at least one of the following, free online AV scanners and post your results here


Panda

Symantec

McAfee

TrendMicro Recommended

F-secure


Keep us updated

Thanks

It sounds like to me that your hard drive has some bad sectors... if it was to only happen once then it would of been just a glitch from low memory but i think your hard drive needs to be replaced unless you can repair the bad sectors by telling your computer not to use those bad sectors...to do so is pretty simple but i dont have time to explain on paper right now...but anyway lets say you have bad sectors and what you want to do is use scandisk if you have windows xp if not then download a program called disk repair you can use this one right here [Link removed: Thanks for the advise but this is a paid program, firstly we are going to try to use free programs] ...Good Luck

I would suggest doing a Disk Defragmentation and follow it with a thorough Check or Scan Disk, depending upon your version of Windows.
