Everything is fine now when i visit the sites that i told you before. But i tried to install Limewire again to see if i could use it, and again my laptop crashed. the whole screen turned blue and said that it had to close windows to protect the computer and a bunch of words that i don't recall now. I gave up on Limewire in my laptop cause i use in my pc anyway. Any sugestions?

eventvwr.msc

Yes, everytime i try to download Limewire i go to Limewire.com and download it, and the same for Java. The Java thing fixed my other problem but i gave up on the Limewire one cause i don't know what else to do.
Thanks

Hi i'm back. In regards to the Limewire problem i have, my laptop did the same thing when i joined Kodak Gallery and i tried to upload photos to store them online. After a few were uploaded the screen went blue with a bunch of letters that i dont remember now. I do remember something like "driver_IRQL_" and that's it, and at the bottom, something like disposing physical memory with a numerical counter counting down. I'm attaching the Application's Event Viewer.
I'll appreciate any help here.
Thanks

hey jerryf - I upgraded java using the link silver1 provided. That upgrade was successful - however I still have the shodocvw.dll problem with IE explorer - anyother suggestions?? - Should I try to delete the bad version of dll and put the good dll in the appropriate directory? - the other issue I have that could be affecting this (I have seen other posts) - when the pc boots up I get the "could not find nail.exe" message.

Hey, I've been having a similar problem. I'm able to use limewire, and run it for about 5-10 minutes, during which time I can download, browse, etc. However, after a random amount of time, Limewire will hang, and bring my whole computer with it. I'm forced to use the power button to turn off the PC at this point. Please help if you can!
