Limewire suddenly crashes on OSX 10.4.7

[squirrellygirl]

My limewire was working nice and kindly until just the last little while. Now it suddenly crashes/closes after only about 10 seconds in, just long enough for me to say "later" to upgrading and close the tip.

I am a new user to macs and so any talk of reinstalling java like I've read previously in other threads on this board is way over my head. I wouldn't have the first clue on how to begin.

I'm not exactly sure when this started but from what I can recall and what I've read from others, it's since Security Update 2006-004 (PowerPC) was installed.

Does anyone know what the deal is and how I can fix it? I've already tried reinstalling the program, reinstalling the security update using the standalone update all to no avail. I've spent most of last night and this evening researching but I've gotten nowhere. I just want my Limewire back.
