So far 2.8.6 (or whatever it is) seems to work fine for me. I use an iMac 700 MHZ 60 GB Mac (pre-flat panel) and haven't had any problems. Sometimes I use different "search" techniques with limewire sometimes the same until whatever file I look for shows up.

So far the only problem I am sometimes faced with is what I call "constant Requery Sent" messages when I download (regardless of what speed the file is - Modem, Cable/DSL. T1 or T3 ...). But mostly I have no trouble.

As I have seen that some people have been successful in installing limewire, I decided to try again. This time, however, I decided to remove unused extensions (TSM fix and Viewbar) and unknown control panels (stagefright).

I then installed 2.8.6NoVM (MRJ 2.2.5 was already on the system). The installation went flawlessly and I am now using limewire 2.8.6!

To those of you stilll having problems, I would suggest that you look at extension conflicts. As a first step, use the extension manager to remove any control panels or extensions that are no longer in use. It worked for me.
