The LimeWire installer will automatically install MRJ 2.2.4, so the MRJ version should not be an issue.

The underlying problem here is that the MRJ is simply not very good. We have also had a great deal of difficulty reproducing these freezes internally.

If people have a chance, they could help us debug this problem by holding down the control key until a console window appears as they open LimeWire. Holding down the control key will cause a popup menu to appear when you click on the LimeWire icon. If you select the "Open" option from the menu and continue to hold down the control key, eventually a console window will appear just before LimeWire starts.

This console window will report any debugging output while you are running LimeWire. It may send you error messages particularly when LimeWire freezes.

If anyone who tries this out could report the errors they find back on this forum, that would be a great help.
