I have a imac OS 9.I, 56k modem, use AOL 5, heres the problem:

No connection( and yes I am on the internet, and dont have a firewall).
After much waiting,and no connections I did manage to connect one time,
and download a song.
Then I was unable to connect for several days ( and yes I do know enough
to punch the connect button). Finally I did connect and got 24% of a song-
then the download disconnected and the red button came up. I waited for
an hour, still nothing, so I cancelled the download. Ever since, Limewire wont
even launch, saying it has an internal error. From the internet, it does launch
but causes my system to freeze. Also, a while ago I tried increasing its memory
but for some reason, it keeps popping back to the original memory, even when
I lock it. This never happens with any other application. Im about to just trash the
whole thing as a buggy mess- any suggestions?
