Okay... I have a Mac (OS 9.2)... Everytime I download it... it installs fine...but as soon as I try to lauch it, it gets as far as loading library window and a box pops up saying "One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing Limewire again. If the problem persists, please copy and paste the message below and send to bugs@limewire.com. Thankyou." I sent it, but i just got an automated message saying "thankyou...etc"...Ive tried redownloading it and reinstalling it, uninstalling it and redownloading and reintalling...the regular version for macs and the mac no vm* version, ive tried shutting extensions off and downloading and installing then turning them back on... Ive even trying downloading an earlier version... everything got the same message and had the same problem... Is there anything I can do or does limewire just not work on my computer for some reason? Thank you. ~Danielle

Apparently, you downloaded an ancient version of LW. The latest is v4.0.6 & you need MRJ 2.2.6 since you have OS 9.2.2 NOT OS 9.2 according to the error report.
Check the Apple System Profiler or About This Computer under the Apple Menu for the correct OS you have. If you do in fact have OS 9.2, then you need MRJ 2.2.5.

Suggest that you uninstall the version of LW you have & its preferences & trash it.
Rebuild your desktop using Techtool Lite.

Download & install MRJ 2.2.6 (2.2.5 for OS 9.2).

Download & install LW v4.0.6 w/extensions OFF.
Rebuild your desktop using Techtool Lite.
Increase LW preferred memory 200%. More if you have over 320mb of *real* RAM.
-------------------------------
LimeWire v4.0.6

MRJ 2.2.6

MRJ 2.2.5 (OS 9.2)
