Thanks for letting us know astrolabe1976 Not sure why the beta would do the trick but has in past.

Sometimes reinstalling Java will fix a prior installation what might not have gone 100% well. It will not replace the apple update. It is the most recent Java update but is the Offline installer, where you have control over the installation, not a software program running in the background that is in control with the installation.

I'm not sure whether your system will allow you to install it as you might receive a message saying no update needed.

These types of issues with mac's system update not doing a 100% satisfactory job has been happening for many years on odd occasions for some people. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...cing-dock.html. Online installing of Java for windows users can also sometimes be an issue (corrupt/incomplete installation).

im also experiencing this issue... using lw5.1.3 on mac 10.5.7 . did java update yesterday, now lw will bounce once in dock and not open. uninstalled, deleted all pref files via appcleaner and reinstalled 5.1.3 and getting same results. please fix

same problem here, after installing new safari and java, lw will not launch any longer

Thanks
