Fatal Error?
 

Hi there people, I have been using Limewire on my mac for ages, but today I upgraded to the newest one and after a seemingly successful install a window pops up telling me that limewire has encountered an internal fatal error etc...There was a 'Review' button which i pressed which opened the following diagnosis (Which I don't understand in the slightest!) I have uninstalled, deleted and redownloaded countless times and also tried frostwire but the same thing keeps happening! Any help at all would be really appreciated!

LimeWire version 4.10.5
Java version 1.4.2_09 from Apple Computer, Inc.
Mac OS X v. 10.4.4 on ppc
Free/total memory: 17479008/19726336

FATAL ERROR!

May I recommend you update your Java to 1.5 using the "Offline" Java installer: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301073 & follow the directions to force LW to use Java 1.5; unless you instruct it to use 1.5, it won't.

Also, after installing Java, reboot the computer whilst holding down SHIFT key until you see the startup window with a message saying Safe Booting. The once fully started up, go to Utilities folder & open Disk Utility & Repair Permissions. Then reboot normally. Before opening LW, (use the Java utility to make LW use Java 1.5 if you hadn't already before doing the safe boot & repair permissions), & also delete the LW preferences found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
