I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 and recently applied the latest security update and subsequently applied version 1.1 of the same security update when Apple released it, which patched the QuickTime Java security hole. I had also toyed with an interface theme change, which I have since removed as well as removing Application Enhancer 2.0.2.

My Limewire application will not load, the icon bounces in the Dock, the splash screen will appear and the application will begin to load, however, once the launch process gets to the "Loading HTML Engine" stage, the splash screen will disappear and so will the application's icon in the Dock. Limewire then doesn't launch.

Despite numerous reinstalls, deleting preferences, cache files, etc. Creating a new user with fresh preferences and attemptin a launch from that user's account, Limewire will just not launch. It crashes when it attempts to load the HTML engine.

Can someone please help?
