4.9 Freezes all my apps, not comp-savvy

[macky15]

I have osx 10.3.9, and one day I restarted my computer to find an updated version of limewire (4.9 basic) somehow on there, opening at startup. I do not know how it got on there. I can't find the old version. Every time I open it, it will freeze itself and other apps. I have tried opening up space on the hardrive, restarting in "Safe Boot" mode or whatever it is, and downloading all the updated java and security software. Nothing has worked so far. Can someone help me or show me to the thread that adresses this?
Thank you!

ps- I'm a little annoyed b/c I didn't download this update and was perfectly happy with the old version. How did that happen?

If you received an update message & you press update then it will update. Simple as that. Either that or someone else who uses the computer did it. LW will not update without your action to allow it.

Perhaps you should update to 4.10 then if 4.9 doesn't work for you.

OK. Downloaded 4.10. No better. Things still freeze up and the "beachball of death" as another user put it, keeps showing up as long as limewire's running.

You are not alone.

I only saw the problem when I downloaded LW4.10 but I'm not sure what version I was running before. Maybe it affects 4.09 as well. Is there anybody out there successfully running LW4.09 or 4.10 on OS X 10.3.9?

macky15 I might just have the solution for you. It worked for someone else who was having similar problems to you. I've sent you a pm with instructions.
