Hi, there is major problem with Limewire version (4.9.37)

[green tiger]

It won't start up when using the latest java version in tiger which is Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 1, but it will work with java version 1.4.2_09.

How to fix:
If you are using java J2SE 5.0 you have to switch over to the older version of java by opening your applications folder & then going to the utilities folder and the java folder, then J2SE 5.0 folder. After that doubleclick on (Java Preferences) to change which java version you want to use.

[et voilà]

If you ask me, this is most certainly an Apple bug. As a mac user, I can certify that if there is a place that OSX sucks at, is getting a proper and working java platform

Apple: wake up or let Sun do the OSX JVM!!!!

To check if the problem is your java, go to Applications>Utilities and then open Terminal.

Type: java -version

If it says "Segmentation fault" then you need to install java again.

You can go here to get the files needed:

(Tiger only. For 10.3.9, go here:

I'm using Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 1 for Tiger right now. Maybe the system software switched over to the older version of java which is 1.4.2_09 when Limewire was started up.

Btw I'm using tiger version 10.4.3.

I selected each java version in prefs, but Limewire worked on neither.....still stumped. Maybe I need to reboot after switching to the 5 version?
