Title: internet crashing
Post by: stimp on January 29, 2006, 05:55:25 PM
hi, I am having trouble with some of the programs on my computer and am hoping that someone can help me out.  For some reason, I can't open Limewire on my computer.   When I click on the icon, it shows the hour glass for a second and then it's like I never even pushed it.  I have also always used trend micro's online scan for my computer periodically.  Ever since I rebuilt my computer, I have not been able to do so.  If I go to the site, when I try and start the scan, it just crashes my internet.  I have looked to see what it is that is causing these problems (including turning off my windows firewall and lowering the restriction rate on my internet options) and can not find a solution.  Anyone ever have this problem or heard anything like it?

Try loading up your task manager for the limewire issue. Make sure you have the IE updates, and re-boot your computer into safe mode. If that does not help, post back.
