Alright, it's been 4 months since my Limewire has worked on the Mac; I'd just give up and use the PC, but tonight it actually froze (more like 'crashed'--the internet icon wouldn't light up for s***) my Roadrunner for about 15 mins while I was downloading, so I gave that up and am sticking to Morpheus on the PC.

Anyway, I have a question for anyone who knows Macs well (as many of you do, *smile*): What if I just backed up the entire Macintosh HD volume & then erased it? I have about 270k files, 60k+ folders, among them some valuable software--some of which I no longer have the install disks for; but I'm going crazy w/o Limewire, and after trying everything listed here on various threads related to OS X (running 10.3.9 on Powerbook G4), I'm willing to admit desperation.

So, If I can save my install pkgs for some of the disk-less software programs to install again, does anyone think this would solve my problem w/ Limewire?

Thanks,
L&O

Before trying that, create a new user account & install LW into it. Try that & see how it works. If it does work, then there must be something corrupt in your main user account.

BTW when backing up OS, all you really need to backup are docs & preferences folders. AFAIK Most apps & OSX system need to be installed properly otherwise problems can arise. But then again, I'm not a knowledge on different backup techniques.
