Can't run won't run

MarkTabet · #1 (**permalink**) November 21st, 2003

I decided to upgrade to the latest version of L/W. The installation (says it) runs fine. But when I try to run the program it unexpectedly quits with a type 1 error. No matter how much memory I allocate, this happens and I've tried the usual things: reinstall, clean install, redownload...

The older version worked OK.

I'm running OS9.2.2 on a G4.

Any ideas?

Mark

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=55743 says that's a memory error, and to also look for an extensions conflict. Allocate LW as much memory as you can (I've set mine for 100 megs when in OS 9). I'm waiting for an answer from pro support about how much memory is optimal, and for advice on how much to give the Apple Applet Runner (in the MRJ 2.2.5 folder). I've given MRJ 64 megs too, but I don't know if that helps.

I tried giving limewire 200mb of RAM and MRJ 100Mb and still no joy.

Are you using Multiple Users? I had a conflict with Multiple Users and Limewire. I just had to turn MU off and then restart, and Limewire worked fine.

No I'm not using Multiple Users.

The galling thing is that the old version worked (albeit very slowly) but I no longer have the installer to 'downgrade' with.

Hi Mark. Here's the answer from Pro Support

Quote:

It really does not matter how much memory is allocated for LimeWire, as long as you have at least 128MB RAM installed on your system. You do not need to do anything to the Apple Applet Runner, to get LimeWire working.

So looks like an extension conflict would be the next area to try, since you already cleaned out all the old stuff and tried a fresh install.

Try turning off Fax extensions first.
btw--Apple modified the MRJ page recently http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120209
Maybe reinstall MRJ 2.2.5?

Thanks for the suggestions but still no joy - i've tried running under OS9.2.2 only extensions and that didn't solve the problem, nor did reinstalling MRJ.

Hey Mark,

I have same problem as you....Did you figure anything out?

Thanks

Me three. Same problem. Exactly.

Gees you guys--between the four of us (and others who can chip in), we should be able to track this down!

How about a clean install (again?) and make sure all the Java pieces are where they are supposed to be? jottagirl found an odd situation where the MRJ pieces were misplaced:

To trash all LimeWire pieces and preferences, use Sherlock to search for both visible and invisible "limew".

I'll boot into 9 and see if I can find the minimum extensions needed to run LW (I still suspect an extension conflict).
