Hi Rich--sorry for the confusion.

Was the "Library" part the problem? (OS X creates a Library for each account, plus has a master Library that you can see when you double click the hard drive). So you have at least three Libraries on your machine. Lets call them master, Rich, and Richnewadmin.

LW is OK in Richnewadmin, so leave that Library alone.

The master Library contains the Receipts folder, and is the only one which has the file called "Install LimeWire.pkg" . You can delete this file.

When logged into the Rich account, use the Go menu to choose the Home acount. Find the Library here, open it to see the Preferences folder, then trash the LimeWire folder you find there.

You should also see a "com.limegroup.gnutella.plist" file. Go ahead and trash that too.

Use the Go menu to open the Applications folder, and drag the LimeWire folder to the trash too.

You *might* get a warning message to "Authenticate" (since it was probably installed under the "Richnewadmin" account). Go ahead and enter the password if required.

So, with no other installers lying around, you should be ready for a clean install again.

If LW still won't install in the "Rich" account, then you can be pretty sure there's something besides LimeWire in the "Rich" account that's causing the problem

use my PM button if this is still unclear, but do keep us posted on what you find.

Cheers
