Default LW Pro does not launch

Powerbook G4 17" 1.5GHz, OS 10.3.6, cable internet, everything connected and working.
I double-click in the LW Pro app icon and it does not launch. What's up?

Ahm...

Select the Finder and open a new window. Go to the Applications folder and delete LW.
Browse to the <username> directory (the "Home" one) and go into the Library. Enter the Preferences folder and find the folder called Limewire-> to the Trash.

http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp ->enter your email adress and redld Pro (may I suggest at this point that you dld the latest beta Pro).
Reinstall.

Does it still refuse to Launch?

Before you do re-install, do a SAFE restart & Repair Permissions & re-install using the standalone Java installer. This can apparently fix some issues with Java (See slin's post & link to standalone Java installer) And then install LW & do another safe boot.

It's always good to repair your permissions with Disk Utility after a Safe restart both before & after you install software. Otherwise seemingly unknown errors can appear such as trying to launch the app. This combined process takes perhaps 15-25 mins. But it's worth the effort to be safe & keep your system healthy.

Did you re-install Java using the Standalone installer? Some people have had problems with 10.3.6 updates. They suggested the 10.3.6 Combo standalone installer solves it. This suggests possible problems with updating online.
