I have found the only way to really get rid of kazaa is to reformat my hardrive. I have a really crappy computer 400Mhz celeron and 256K of RAM, and my laptop is a 333Mhz pentium with 216k. Kazaa would not work properly until I reformatted my harddrive and downloaded and installed the lite version I listed above. Now it works perfectly. Another thing to try--go to this article: http://www.tweaktown.com/document.ph...24&dType=guide . It's a great article on tweaking the xp system (I'm assuming you're using xp, you did say "new" computer).
