Hi Dickybran

LOTR asked me to suggest some ideas, so here they are (nice clear post btw--thanks).

The most likely suspects in the original account would be a corrupted installer (clearing the Safari cache would be the best bet here before downloading a new installer) or the LimeWire folder inside the Home/Library/Preferences folder.

Move any installlers and the LW Prefs folder somewhere else and try again to see if they are the culprits.

If not, then the other less likely files would be any LW Dock icon(drag off dock to "pouff" it) or the Install LimeWire.pkg file in the hard drive's Library/Receipts folder.

If neither of these fix the original home account's LW install, then you'd have to look for another java application that is interfering.

Cheers--let us know what you find.
