Hi all,

I’ve read all of the posts (including the sticky) for why Limewire is crashing and have tried the fixes but I must have missed something because I still can’t get it to stop crashing. Please forgive me for so many questions. I’m pretty good with computers but I never fully understood the whole Java thing and why it makes some programs act funny.

I am running OSX 10.4.5 on an iMac G5 (non Intel)
Using Limewire Pro 4.10.9
Have recently done security updates 2006-001 & 2006-002
Have repaired permissions before and after both updates
I uninstalled Quicktime 7.0.4 and reinstalled 7.0.1
I installed Java to J2SE50 Release 3

Now for my questions… Someone said that you need to remove the old Java from OSX > Library > Receipts folder. Well there are 3 Java type files listed in my folder:

J2SE50Release3.pkg
Java.pkg
Java131and142Release2.pkg
(I do not see a Java15release1.pkg file though)

Did I install the wrong Java file?
Which pkg do I delete from the Receipts folder?
Do I have to restart and/or repair permissions again after that?
Once it’s deleted do I completely re-install Limewire?

Also, I see Java files in my Utilities folder:

J2SE5.0
Java 1.3.1 Plugin Settings
Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings.

Do I have to do anything with these?

Again I’m sorry for all of the questions. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

You don't remove any files from the Receipts folder unless you can't install a program of the same name (the system requires all receipts.) Then remove that particular receipt.

Did you open the Java 1.5 utility(preferences) found in your Utilities folder & tell it to use Java 1.5 as 1st preference? See Setting up Java 1.5

If you haven't already, try deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW is closed & found here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
