I have the general Macintosh Limewire. Whenever Limewire is open and I click outside of the Limewire window, I get an "error of type two" and the program closes and it tells me to restart my computer. It might actually only happen when I click on the menu bar at the top of the screen, but it happens EVERY TIME. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks.

I have this same problem as well. When I click on the finder or outside of the limewire window, the program shuts down on me and it tells me to restart. Anyone dealt with this before?

I've got the same too, but it happens all the time, and not only when i click outside. I wish someone could help us.

I think I may have found your solution. (It worked for me.)

I'm running LimeWire 1.7 on a Mac G4 w/ OS 9.

If LimeWire consistently crashes when you click outside the application itself, try increasing the memory allocation of the program. To do this:

1. Select the LimeWire 1.7 application
2. Go File --> Get Info
3. In the Get Info window select Memory from the pop-up menu
4. Change the Minimum Size to the Suggested Size
5. Bump the Preferred Size higher. (I set mine to 10,000)

Hopefully this should help all you ailing LimeWire users!

I had the same problem, running LimeWire 1.7 on a powermac G4, until I found a conflict with the "Contextual Menu Extension." I went into Extensions Manager, disabled that extension, restarted, and everything is great! I can click outside LimeWire, run LimeWire in the background, run other programs alongside of LimeWire - and it keeps running perfectly! Just like it should!

I thought that this extension may be the culprit when I noticed on the new LimeWire, there is an option to "disable contextual menus" under the "help" pulldown menu. Also, when LimeWire used to crash on me, I remembered that it also disabled the contextual menu feature at the same time as the crash.

You mean you actually got it to install?! DO tell the rest of us how...

The installer seemed to have the same problem of quitting on me when I clicked outside of its window - but it installed fine after trying again and not clicking anywhere...

If you can't get it to install, I'd try disabling the "Contextual Menu Extension," (using Extensions Manager), restarting the computer, and trying again. Other than that, I don't know what to tell 'ya.

Like I said, the installer was acting up on me, but eventually worked. And the application itself didn't work right until disabling the CM extension.

I'm running Limewire 1.7 on a PowerMac G4, running OS 9.2.1

Thank you to unregistred #4 for his solution. I tried before to increase the memory but it didn't work at all. But now, I just tried to disabled the extension as you explained and it all work very fine. I don't have type 2 error anymore. Right now, I'm a very happy limewire user because of you.
