The latest 7.1.1 quicktime update from the software panel finally fixed my crashing Limewire....

Thanks for the info. Could you describe what the symptoms of the crashes were.

As Limewire would try to connect it would simply quit. The problem was, I think related to a past firewire bug. Now its fixed.;-)

Well I never had that bug but! I didn't upgrade until I found out why my external firewire device stopped working with final cut pro. The previous QT 6's left overs in the receipts folder is what caused my problem. After that no QT version has affected me.

yeah I had tried that qt receipt fix, but it didn't work for me, thankfully apple's update did the trick.;-)

Good to hear!!! Thanks for letting us know!

well it was working fine for 2 days and then it began to quit again. Yeah Im stumped as well.....

Do a safe boot & repair permissions. That's a start. And remember a safe boot will take a lot longer to start up as you found out last time. In Tiger during the safe start it eventually comes up with a window asking if you want to continue with a safe start, press yes or continue. Of repairing permissions reboot normally.

If this doesn't help, then delete your LW preferences found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

If reinstalling Java didn't help, perhaps reinstalling Tiger might help using the latest offline updater that includes all previous updates. That's a big download though.

The safe boot solved the problem; Limewire is back. Thanks.
Damn, a safe boot takes an abnormally long time..., Anyway, Im running 4.11 beta; and cant yet upgrade that version to pro. Also, where are the font settings? Thanks

Xcellent! Glad to hear that fixed it.

erm ... font settings for LW? I didn't know it had any!

Did you know that if you are a presently registered pro user, you can download the pro beta? Go to your personal pro downld page & look at the bottom of that page & it will have a pro beta link. I'm using the pro beta 4.11.2
Or did you mean your pro registration with 6 months of free updates had finished.
