Before my hard drive malfunction (file structures problem) I used Limewire Pro with no problem. I had to scrub my hard drive and re-load all my apps. I have a Mac G4 800 MHz, PowerPC, running Tiger (OS 10.4.11), with 1GB memory.

I tried to install a new version of Limewire Basic from the website, and it seemed to install. When it went to the set-up screen, it stalled, and would not complete. Clicking on the Limewire icon does nothing. No response whatsoever. Eventually, I tried again to re-install Limewire, (again using Version 4:18.8 for Tiger), and now I get the the dialogue box stating that there is nothing to install.

To complicate matters, I decided to try to uninstall Limewire, and then try to re-install. During the uninstall process, I got an error box stating "the uninstaller can not complete due to an error." No indication of what the error might be. I deleted the limewire preferences from my utility/preferences folder, but this did not change anything.

Looking over the other help threads on this website, I have checked on the following conditions: Java (using J2SE 5.0), and I followed the Firewall instructions using port 6346, and indicating to allow Gnutella/Limewire downloads. I also downloaded VUZE 4.2.0.8 without difficulty.

So, I am in a loop. Part of Limewire apparently remains on my drive, and I am not able to complete a new installation. Suggestions would be very welcome.
