Ack. I just tried to start up Limewire and it wouldn't open. I use MacOS 10.3.2 and the Limewire icon on the dock does the little bouncing animation, and then nothing happens, no opening, no error message, nothing. I restarted my computer, still nothing. I downloaded the update that I had been ignoring, nada. Then I opened up the console and found this error message, about 3 times in a row:

May 24, 2004 8:17:35 PM com.limegroup.gnutella.ConnectionWatchdog killIfStillDud
WARNING: Killing connection: CONNECTION: host=24.60.7.60 port=6346

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Carolyn

Ok. I just tried again and Limewire started up, but now I get this error message:

Your save directory is not valid. It may have been deleted, you may not have permissions to write to it, or there may be another problem. Please choose a different directory.

Im my own admin, so the permissions to write aren't a problem.

I don't know what Limewire wants as a directory, which may be part of my problem. When I select my hard drive, console shows this error message:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at apple.awt.CFileDialog.run(CFileDialog.java:72)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:552)

...... Ok. Never mind that. I just selected my user folder and Limewire started up nicely. Oooh, it looks nice too. Ok, thanks for reading this and trying to be helpful, but I just figured out my own problem.

LOL! Nice job--and a really quick fix!
