Right now I'm only running LimeWire, iTunes, Safari and Adium and it will get stuck sometimes. It also has been shutting programs down like Roxio Popcorn, Adium, Safari without any notice.
What could be wrong? What can I do?

Discussing warez is a no-no around here.

Please. 
I just turned it on today, and very slow on the start up too.

How much RAM do you have? Upgrading to 1.25 GB may solve many of your problems.

I was already planning on getting more RAM, because I have 512 right now. But what I was trying to say is that I'm running the same programs doing the same stuff I was doing about two weeks ago and two weeks ago I didn't have this problem.
Also, why could it be that the programs are shutting themselves off pretty frequently?

Like I've posted in another recent thread, LimeWire will cause pretty nasty directory corruption that, often, is irreparable even with a program like Diskwarrior. The key is to back up your data, zero the hard disk, and restore the software from scratch, without LimeWire. Your computer will run like it's meant to when you don't have that crap on there.
