Hey guys thanks for the messages - I was starting to think maybe it was just me.

edfarris and pvc: sorry I still haven't found a cure.

stief: I've tried clean installs (using the supplied uninstaller which seems pretty thorough) but still no joy.

I'll give jottagirl's info a look and come back to you.


Mark.

Mark--the uninstaller doesn't touch the '.limewire' folder in the System->Preferences. Use Sherlock to search your HD for "limew" to find it. Sometimes the "Shared folder" is in there, so look through the trash for any files you want to keep before trashing.

Also, which installer were you using? The alternate Classic installer (Mac No VM) is under the "Other" button http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadother.shtml

This may not make sense to anyone,(It certainly doesn't to me) but I restarted my computer using the Norton startup disk (I didn't even run Disk Doctor) then restarted back to my regular disk and LW suddenly, inexplicably, ran fine. Perhaps some preferences were reset or ...who knows? I don't even know if the fact that it was Norton is relevant- maybe any other startup disk will do the same thing. Worth a shot, no?

Stief,

Deleting the ".limewire" preferences folder hasn't made a difference; nor does it matter which installer I use (with VM or withour).

Funnily enough, on my travels I have found an installer for Pro 2.7.9 which runs (albeit like molasses going uphill)!

I looked into jottagirl's thing and I appear to be missing MRJ Enabler and swingall.jar. I don't know whether they're important but I just don't have them.

PVC: I haven't had a chance to try your Norton suggestion.

Looks like I just joined the club.

I'm running 4.5 on a G3/233 - well, I use the term "running" in its loosest sense. More like crawling.

But it won't run on my "new" (just bought) G4/400 with 1Gb of RAM installed.

Error type 1, like everyone else.

FaxSTF application appears to be installed but there's no control panel.

I let LW install the latest Java thingy. Maybe that was a mistake?

Ho hum. Back to the G3. I'll put the kettle on.

Just anther would be user here just amaized to read others have been having the same problems. I've tried every options suggested here, and still nothing. I'd been running LW just fine when one day the hideious Error type 1 message shows up. No matter what I try, I get the same thing. What I don't understand is that I hadn't installed anything that could cause an extension conflict proir to this, or done anything out of the ordianry, when it stopped working. I've tried "downgrading" but I get a message saying what I've installed is too old to work with the upgrades made to the LW network. I have a PowerBook G4, running 9.2.2

How far back are you downgrading?

Do you have the means to downgrade to a more recent version?


Mark.

Sorry for the delay in getting back on this. Alas, I just gave up on getting this version to work on my PowerBook G4. It seems to work on my Blue &White G3, which, ironically, also runs 9.2.2, but on the G3 all seems fine. I've decided it MUST be some kind of extension conflict, but I'll be *#!@!! if I can find it!! I'm just going to bag attempting to get this version to work on the G4 & wait till another version is released. This one's not worth the agrivation.
