I have the same exact problem macuser101. I have moved Java 1.5 to top. It didn't help.

I run mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded a new version of limewire but it won't open or connect. I didn't have a problem before running the old version. I deleted the old version including the preference setting. I noticed that new version does not install and new preference folder. I am thinking this is the problem. If you think so, how do I restore the preference setting? I have deleted and installed limewire 4 times. No change.

I need help.

thanks, tmak
