    I until recently have been a kazaa user for file sharing but had found it too b no good in the sharing of mp3's. Whenever i used to get them they never worked... soo i had enough and converted to LimeWire and find it a brilliant program... no pop ups hardly any bad files etc...

    I just wanted to c what everyone else thought of the application???

    what?
    just what we think of it?

    i like it.
    limewire pro atleast.

    pretty fast, different network than kazaa's. the gnutella one.
    although i do believe i like bearshare better, since i got limewire pro, its all good.

    limewire is good basically

    limewire is good, but suffers from the same prob most java apps do.
    they eat up alot of system resources.

    not a problem for me, but people with lower spec PC's should be aware.

    maybe you could try and reinstall windows media player?

    have you tried to play AVi's in different media players, i.e Real Player, Quicktime etc..

    if so, do they produce any errors aswell?? (if they do, could be a codec related issues)

    thats all i can think off. hope it helps.

    i did a little reading up. media cannot be completly removed. it can only be rolled back to a previous version that came with windows (ie ver 9 in most cases)

    you could try rolling back to media player 9, and then reinstall media player 10.

    i would try the newer codec first, which is the best im not to sure, but i have got a copy of the "K-Lite Codec Pack Full v2.50" which can be found on afterdawn's servers.(and have had no probs with any avi's)

    ok everyone,
    Here is what i am up to on this issue...
    I have tried installing Winamp and playin the file and also installed RealPlayer and they both spat out the same problem as seen in the pic i posted earlier all that changed was the name of the program, but its the same error runtime etc....

    What does everyone think do i have to reinstall windows?? (I hope not)
    p.s i also tried restoring the pc and did not help...
    anymore ideas would b great :)

    try removing LIMEWIRE, see if that fixes the problem.

    apart from that, i cannot think (or find) anything else.
