a google of "bus error os x" turned up only old posts and bad news: the only suggestions I could find were pointing to reinstalling the system.

Uggg. And you've done that already once before, if I recall correctly.

I've left a message foran expert to look at your problem, but they're not available now, and I doubt they'd be able to take a look any time soon.

Sorry

i have no idea what to do? Should i try to download a different program all together? I dont want to pay for lw if it isnt gonna work for me!!!!!!
jewlsb

thanks for tryin

Pay? LimeWire is free

All the other filesharing programs for Macs are based on java or LimeWire. As long as your system is messed up, the others won't work.

Run Webstart (It's in Applications/Utilities/Java). I expect it will crash too.

Right?

I paid like $20.00 to get LW Pro.... and if it's not working - i have tried to fix this problem now for like 2-3weeks....its frustrating.......
