I have what appears to be the same sort of issue with my copy of Limewire, but the strange thing is that Limewire has been running fine on my little 333 Imac for about 9 months now. I've been using OS 9.2.2 for the last few months with no problems. I do not have the very most recent version of Limewire because my short 6-month update rights apparently just ran out.

So, I'm going to try the earlier version (thanks for the advice). Hopefully it works ok, though I'm not too keen on going back a version. And I'm a little peeved that it happened right after my updates ran out... What's up with that? I'll begrudgingly admit that it's probably just a coincidence, but it sure reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon I saw recently where the software salesperson says "give us a million dollars to upgrade or suffer our planned obsolescence." When Dilbert says he cannot afford to upgrade then, the salesperson pulls out a little detonator remote and says "Say goodbye to the digits 3 and 9."

Ah, I see now. Maybe it *wasn't a coincidence* -- maybe the strip was really talking about Limewire!
