PsycoJoe urged
I bought Limewire 3.8.9 Pro (about $18) about two weeks ago and find it so unstable with Win XP Pro that it is hardly useable. It crashes and re-sets my system about 8 times out of ten when trying to open the application. I then have to wait for windows to run a lengthy scandisk on the re-boot. Reading limewire forums and researching on google it would appear that this instabilty is a common occurance.just go with limewire i promise it wont be a mistake.
The claimed fast download speeds and claimed ability of file availability is pure myth.
It's the old story that one should check out these things before you buy.
BTW PsycoJoe if you know of a fix for this problem please post it so others with this trouble can rectify it
This is classic case where a trial version would have been very useful, I definately would not have bought it. Before anyone asks, I didn't try the free version because it does not have the so called advantages of the Pro version, and I am pop-ad, banners intolerent.
