Thanks.

a temporary fix....
 

Hi,
Dear OS X.1.5 Users - sorry for the inconvenience. We aren't sure what is going on, but we are working on a fix. In the meantime, this is what I do to get a stalled LimeWire to come up. I open up my IE 5.1 application and just browse around. I know it sounds idiotic but I've made it work a couple times. Hopefully that works for the rest of you too.

Thanks!

Now it's a funny ol' world, to coin a phrase. I had one final, resigned attempt at opening up 3.5.8 about 4 or so hours after I downloaded the thing. I double-clicked on the alias I'd sent to the Dock and Lo! and Behold! It fired up. Connects to the network just fine, downloads and has no problems with iTunes either.

Wha...?

Naturally, I can't get it to open up again today.

What version of Java are you using?
 

I was wondering if everyone who is having this problem could tell me what version of Java they have? We are investigating the issue and we think the bug may have been resolved with the latest Java 1.3.1 Update for 10.1.x. That would be Java 1.3.1 Update 1.

Thanks!

Java 1.3.1 Update 1 - 03/05/02 says my installation log.

I waggled around my cursor while LW 3.5.8 was firing up, avoided the dreaded beach ball and the damn thing opened up again! That seems to have been a one-off as I can't get any kind of consistant opening method going. Waggling about my mouse is surely not the way forward.

I hope this stuff is helping.

yeah, the mouse waggling is pure luck....
 

yeah, i tried the mouse waggling this morning to no avail. i'm currently integrating a patch that should hopefully fix the issue for all future versions. very sorry for the inconvenience folks....

Cool. I'm sure it can be fixed. Let us know as soon as you need us to test it out.

Thanks Susheel--glad you're on it. I'll remove the old LimeWireOSX3.4.6.zip installer from my iDisk now.

LimeWire 3.6.1 Soon Available
 

Hi folks,
If you download the beta release 3.6.1 the hanging issue should be fixed. Please let me know if you experience the same issue with build 3.6.1.

Thanks!
