Any error message?

This might take a little while but worth doing: Reinstall instructions for both Java & LW after cleaning the system.

Also, check points 3, 5 & 6 here: Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link)

Stuck! ? lol
Here's a good starting point: How to find music

is there a music program out there that is free and is as good as limewire without all the download problems ?

Where are you stuck? Try this version of LW: The beta LimeWire 5.2.2 (Beta) - Lime Wire

I have Mac 10.5.7 and have also downloaded LimeWire Pro several times. the download is always successful but I can not open LW from the lime on my desktop. I am so frustrated, was doing this as a gift for my husband but can't get it to open!!! I have all software updated on my computer and trashed the original download and tried from the beginning, MANY times today. Hope someone can help!

What kind of mac do you have? Is it an intel mac made within past 3 years? A quick way to check if your mac is compatible with LW 5 version is to check whether you have Java 1.6 (Java 6) installed; see Setting up Java for Leopard (see 2nd image)

I have 10.5.7 and have reloaded Limewire Pro and cannot get it to launch also.

If LW stopped working after the recent Java update, then check these two options: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/344941-post3.html
