Default Problems Installing version 4.8.1

Hi all,
Maybe I'm not posting in the right place, if so my apologies, first time user...
Been a happy user of Limewire for the last 3 years at least...
Recently, I upgraded to version 4.8.1 and all was well for about a week.
Yesterday, I couldn't launch Limewire (bouncing Icon then disapearing). I'm on an iMac OS X 10.3.8... Tried different diagnostics/repairs to no avail. Rest of my computer works fine...
So I deleted all pertaining to Limewire except my shared file that I put in another file.
Re-downloaded and re-installed Limewire. The installer reported that all was OK, but it's not since I still have the bouncing icon 8 -10 times then nothing...
Have deleted/re-installed 5 times but still no-go...
Anyone with similar problems or ideas for solution?
Is there a known problem with the downloaded package?

If you had have gone to the OSX section of the LW section you would have seen a Sticky with solutions to your problem. See icon bouncing in Dock (click on link)

Hi Lord of the rings,

I did find the related thread but I do have the BSD installed and I did follow the suggestions to change the faulty line in the plist file but it was already OK (string Limewire string). Did not find anything with prelude...
I also have Java 1.4.2 version 2 installed as I saw that the Java version could be causing problems.

Recently, I found this in console.log. Looks like a Virtual Memory problem. I do have some problems with bad RAM. Maybe this is the cause. Will look further into that.
If there's any other suggestions, thanks in advance !!!

Default no luck...

Hi again,
Well, no luck...
As per list:
-1, updated to Java 1.4.2v2 but was already there.
-2, Disk Warriored, repaired disk with install CD, repaired permissions and ran fsck...
-3, uninstalled/re-installed: no-go
-4, installed LW Beta: no-go
-5, won't install in new user or no-go also
-6, installed LW 4.8.0: no-go
-7, For now, re-installing OSX is not an option as all other applications work seemingly normally... Howerver, I'm starting to suspect an ill Installer but I can't find a standalone version at Apple to replace mine... Will search this further.
-8, JUM version : no-go...

Maybe other suggestions from you guys...
Thanks

Tried it. I trashed the Java142Update2.pkg and downloaded the standalone from Apple but still got an already installed message.
I didn't empty the trash though while doing the Java install... Would that be of consequence?
On another note, I got a kind of opened orange box as icon instead of your icon for Java142Update2.pkg...Same difference ??

In list mode it looks very different than when viewing it in icon mode which can happen with many icons.

Heard of this before but can't remember of find the post that deals with it. Perhaps wait for Stief or et voilà or someone else to arrive.

I guess you could try to reboot before reinstalling.
