error message ruining limewire for mac
 

I have a Mac OS 9.1 When I clicked to start LimeWire it gave me thehttp://www.limewire.com/img/lime_splash.gif window, and then after a few minutes it said:

I copied the selections and e-mailed it to the bug department. Then I clicked OK and it brought me back to the "lime splash" page. Then nothing happens. I've tried to start it over and over again, and restart my computer and try it. What should I do to get limewire to work?
