I just upgraded my Mac to Leopard (OS X 10.5) and LimeWire no longer works. It launches and brings up the window but then it crashes. I found a LimeWire log file under CrashReporter, it is too big to post the entire file but some of the pertinent information is below. It appears to be a Java problem. I've seen other posts which suggest I download and reinstall Java but Mac does not have Java on their website for Mac OS X 10.5. I tried a version of Java for OS X 10.4 but the installer quit by stating I had the wrong version of the OS installed. Their website says OS X 10.5 comes with an upgraded Java. Well, apparently it does but not one that is LimeWire compatible. I uninstalled LimeWire by moving it from Applications to the Trash and reinstalled it but no luck.
Any ideas?
