LW 4.0.7 Pro works perfectly only once (downloads and everything included) and that's it. The second time I try to launch it, it won't, though I do get the lime icon in the dock and (only) one menu at the top, namely the one called LimeWire.

When I try to end the app, I do get an error message destined for Apple and another one for LimeWire, the latter of which you'll find below.

The only thing that helps is to completely uninstall LW and reinstall it, then the same thing happens again, it works once and that's it.

Can anyone help?

LimeWire version 4.0.7 Pro
Java version 1.4.2_03 from Apple Computer, Inc.
Mac OS X v. 10.3.4 on ppc

Looks to me like a Java issue but I don't know. I don't know the answer but wondering whether you read this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=22447
Also, did you instal BSD?
