Did you run Apple Menu->Software Update? Looks like Apple has some fixes that should help.

i tried the update but it still closed straight after i opened it

Did you run Software Update until there are no more updates to install? There were quite a few between 10.5.2 and 10.5.5

Once there are no more updates to install, restart your computer in Safe Boot Mode. Apple says "Hold down the Shift key immediately after the startup tone and release when you see the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear)." http://docs.info.apple.com/article.h...db_strtup.html

it works in safe mood but then i cant use the sound so if im using lime wire i cant watch movies or do anythingwih sound so is there any other peranent solution that lts me use sound

Just do a normal restart now--sound (and wireless, and probably some other extensions) will be back. Those extensions are not loaded in a Safe Boot.

Glad to hear java no longer crashes and LW can load. This means it should work normally in a regular boot too. If not, at least you have some idea what extra extensions are causing java problems.

Cheers

it was working in normal mode but then it stoped working and would only work in safe mood agian

You could set up a Test account on the computer, see if LW works there.
I wonder if the issue is graphic card (video card) drivers. That might be why the newer LW versions refuse to work on my mac intel. (LW 4.16 is the last version I can apparently use. Which has some bugs which keep appearing now & again.)

i have the same problem, please fix him

I have a problem with my limewire too. I have Mac OSX, 10.5.5. I tried installing limewire several times but as soon as it opens it closes! My software is up to date. I have been reading some topics relating to the same problem but I didnt fix my problem. And i went to console messages and relating to LM it says - invalid memory acces of location 00000000 eip=005b6ac8..I have enough disc available. I really know little about computers - still learning - and i hope u can help me. My brother has a PC and he has no problems with his LW.

Thank u
