I had the same problem and solved it with
Java 1.4.2Update2. It worked with me. Can you try and tell if it also worked with you ?http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...update142.html

Angry LW won't open Mac OX user

Same problem!

Limewire was working fine until this morning. Icon bounces and then nothing happens. As a new Mac OX panther user I am unfamiliar with Macs generally. I deleated all LW files from my computer and re installed, didn't work. Installed older Mac version of LW, this did work but is crap, compared to latest version.
There are lots of us who seem to have this problem, there must be a fix?

Try the fixes suggested. I'm a panther user, & mac user for over 10 yrs & haven't had any problems with recent versions.

Angry OS X no Limewire anymore!

Thanks for coming back so quickly. I have tried the system repairs and java downloads but nothing works! Why should it work fine one minute then the next-just a bouncy icon? How can I be sure I am deleating all refs to LW before reinstalling?
I am very new to Macs as our PC's were so unreliable!

Very easy on mac, just drag the folder to the trash. If you wish to delete the LW Prefs go here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Thanks again for your help! I tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling. I dont think the download is installing properly it gets to 5% completed and then says it is finished! Is there any way of telling if LW is installed properly?
I still have a bouncing icon for a couple of seconds then nothing!

Try the Jum Build & click onto the http link. This is a beta of a beta so to speak but doesn't require installing.
