Yeah
 

I am using a Mac G4 400mhz and am on 9.2.2

no go
 

Still nothing, Ive been deleting and installing for 2 days now. I have no idea what to do. Ive changed the memory to everything youve told me to and back again. Still get the stupid error type 1 message.

Hello!

LimeWire works differently then other Classical Mac OS applications because it is Java. LW will assign the amount of memory required automatically. My LW usually eats about 60MB of RAM and yeat I have not changed its memory allocation from its default values. Only the memory allocation for MRJ should be changed. I recommends to set the maximum value to 32000 and leave the minimum value unchanged. For me that setting has always worked great.

Re: no go
 

Hello!

Try this:

If you have 320MB or more physical RAM then you should turn off Virtual memory. If you have less then you should set VM to 193MB or more depending on the amount of physical RAM that you have but if you have 320MB or more VM should be turned off.

Go into your File Exstension Control panel(Apple Menu>Control Panels>File Exstension Control panel) and turn off any exstensions belonging to any FireWall, Antivirus app and ofcourse all the FAX STF exstensions then Re-Start you Mac and see if it will work this time.

done that
 

I did set MRJ to 32000 and 60000. And I need my virtual memory to be on so thats a no. i hate java. Still nothing.

Os: 9.2.2
G4 400Mhz
768Mb Ram

Does it need to be installed somewhere specific or something. I dont install it in the applications folder but rather just to the drive itself.

Re: done that
 

Hello!

First off all change the setting back to the default memory value for LW. That setting should not have been changed as I described in my post above. change it back to 1101 as minimum and 2125 as maximum.

You must install LimeWire inside the Applications folder. Just move your LimeWire folder to the Applications(Mac OS 9) folder.

Why in earth do you have to have Virtual memory turned on?. You have a gigantic amount of memory 768MB is alot. Apple recommends turning off VM if you have more then 320MB of physical RAM installed.

When using OSX then VM cannot be turned off and even if VM is turned off under Classic OSX will still use its own version of VM. But under Mac OS9.x and that amount of RAM then VM should definetly be turned off. To turn off VM do the following:

Go to Apple Menu>Control Panels>Memory

and here turn off VM and re-start your Mac.

I know
 

I know how to turn it off but trust me I go through Ram in no time, and then I cant continue until I restart so just no. Why would it matter anyway

Bummer
 

still nothing, I reinstalled it on the right folder and it still shows the error. I have the MRJ set for 32000 and I am just about to give up. I would have to call this bad programing if its that hard. Any other ideas if not ok I'll wait for Limewire 3 i guess.

Sucks to be richiestang_78 right now. Try the suggestion posted in the "First Run help" thread of trashing LW 2.9 and re-installing v. 2.8.6. A link is posted there where you can get it.

Stay funky,

Johnny B.

thanks
 

Thanks I just downloaded 2.8.6 and it works great. Is this the best of the older versions?
