Hi Everyone,
I just downloaded the liveware 3.0 off the internet and it works just fine,
no stuttering or nothing. I wonder if the other programs on the CD are the
problem? The download doesn't come with Live lava and a couple of others.
Maybe uninstalling these other programs will solve your problem.
