This is my first post here, but I searched though previous posts for similar issues.
I aplologize if I am describing a well documented issue.

I have a G4 PowerMac running OS 10.3.2 with LimeWire 3.6.14.

This is the second time I have had this problem, which was only solved the first time by taking my Mac back to factory settings and using DiskWarrior.

Basically, I have various 'applications not responding'.
However, they do respond and work perfectly when LimeWire is running... and only when LimeWire is running.

Applications affected include; 'Safari', 'TextEdit', 'Sherlock', 'AddressBook', 'Apple Help' and probably a lot more.

But more importantly I cannot access, (through my 'System Preferences') 'International', 'Security', 'Sharing', 'Accounts' (thus I can't create a new user account unless LimeWire is running).

I am also unable to Install any software, or download through 'Software Update'. I get 'application not responding' when using 'Disk Utility' and blank CD's are not recognized.

However, all of the above works perfectly when LimeWire is running, so I can olny assume that LimeWire is the application at fault.

I also know from the last time I experienced this problem, that through creating a new user account when LW is running, and then changing to the new account that my Mac works fine, regardless of LW.

Has anyone came accross this before, and if so, how can it be fixed?
Does the LimeWire 3.6.15 update solve this particular issue?

All help will be greatly appreciated.
