AOL software conflict with Sony Vaio
By: kcpammy | 14-07-2008
I have a 2 yr old Sony Vaio  LGV-LS1. The first year everything worked well with AOL. In the last 6 months or more, randomly while I am working with AOL the screen freezes, goes blurry and I get multiple black lines horizonally across the screen. You have to manually shut down the computer and re-start. This can happen up to 20 times a day. Sony has replaced the motherboard and Sub LCD, but it is still doing the same thing. At their recommendation I removed AOL 9.1 and dowloaded AOL 9.0VR, guess what? still the same thing. AOL is blaming Sony, Sony is blaming AOL and I am stuck in the middle. Any suggestions?

Computer help!!
By: VTut2734 | 11-07-2008
Hello- Just the other day I logged on my compter like normally and the "show hidden icons" arrow just kept multiplying. I can't click on any of the icons within the taskbar only the clock. I have a feeling that it may be Limewire related although the version I have I pay for. It comes up with the normal message except after I click out of the message there is no limewire. I think the computer thinks thats limewire is open yet I can't access the taskbar to maximize the limewire program. I also feel that the Limewire program froze my taskbar which sort of puts me in a catch-22 situation. I get this message on my screen from java... "One or more neccessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupt installation. Please try downloading and installing Limewire again. If the problem persists visit www.limewire.com and click the 'Support' link." Then in the box below is further reads: LimeWire version 4.18.3 Java version 1.60_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc. Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86 Free/total memory: 31359208/33357824 com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$StartupFailedException:.\lib\hashes (They system cannot find the file specified) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.sanityCheck(GUILoader.java:281 at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.load(GUILoader.java:58) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorlmpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorlmpl.invoke(Unkown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorlmpl.invoke(Unkown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Main.java:45) STARTUP ERROR! That is the message that pops up alot. Anyhelp or knowledge to resolve this problem is greatly appreciated. It is my college computer and has all my things on it and is a Fujitsu Tablet PC. Thank your for your time, Seth "remember 32" HOKIES
