The 2 things I'd suggest are:

1. Try deleting the Limewire preferences whilst LW's closed. The file is found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

2. If that doesn't do the trick, re-install Java but "only" using the "Offline" standalone Java installer. Java 1.4.2 for Tiger (click on link) I think is the newest one. However, if you're using Java 1.5 then get it here http://developer.apple.com/java/download/

Did you see the note about Tiger Java 1.5 & how to make LW use it? See it near the bottom of the page here Major Topics for General OSX Help (click on link)

Sorry I was slow to respond ... yes ... delete the entire folder, but be sure it's the one within your preferences folder. Someone suggested to me about a year ago it's best to delete the LW prefs after updating to pro.

You shouldn't need to keep deleting the LW prefs. Don't forget your settings for LW under the Limewire name at top left of menu bar. Or use the command (apple key) & comma. Then select your options.

As far as chat goes, well you need to remember that many people leave their LW running overnight or whilst they're at work, school or play, or in the background whilst they're doing other things. So chat doesn't often work as well as you might hope. Having chat enabled does howeve help with browsing from some reason.
