Limewire Will Not Open
 
I am having a problem with Limewire refusing to open. The lime icon will bounce, a triangle will appear for a split second and then the icon disappears. No error messsages.

I recently updated OS X to 10.2.5 and I use a theme application for changing the appearence of OS X but this has never been an issue for as long as I have been using a theme.

Any ideas? Thanks

OK
 
We'll start with the obvious first step which is to clear out your existing Limewire system. Don't just use uninstall. Search on "Limew" and trash everything that you find (except, of course, your Library of completed downloads). Then download a new version of Limewire and install that.

If this does not work, let us know, and we'll go on to the next step.

It is usually because you have not installed Java 1.4.1

I had the same problem because I refused to install the new Java because it is not compatible with WebObjects but now that there is a way to use the 2 together I have installed it and now Limewire works

Java
 
HiiH

As I understand Limewire, it does not currently use Java 1.4.1. The developers are working on an upgrade that will implement it, but there are problems with the virtual memory to resolve.

I don't mean to be rude but I could not give a rats ****. All I know is Limewire didn't work, I installed 1.4.1 and Limewire worked. This has happened twice now. In most situations, it does not matter why things work, just that they work.

Please remember to be civil.. we don't want insults on this board ...everyone is trying to help the best they can

How sad. . .
 
. . .that you have no interest in how or why something works, for how else are we to advance our problem-solving skills by pooling our knowledge in fora like these? I suppose I should be grateful that you do at least have a grasp of animal anatomy.

Obviously working out why things work the way they do has little value because my problem solving works fine... I had a problem, I solved it. I don't know why what I did solved the problem and knowing the answer will not get me closer to reaching my goals; all I want is to know how to make it work, not why it works.

Open /Library/Receipts

In there will be Java1.4.1.pkg

sneekee_d May 14th, 2003 06:29 PM

Java
 
Well...I've got three packages:

Java1.3.1Update1.pkg
Java1.4.1.pkg
Java141DP10.pkg

Does this mean I can rule out Java being the problem?
