a google of "bus error os x" turned up only old posts and bad news: the only suggestions I could find were pointing to reinstalling the system.

Uggg. And you've done that already once before, if I recall correctly.

I've left a message foran expert to look at your problem, but they're not available now, and I doubt they'd be able to take a look any time soon.

Sorry

problem
 

i have no idea what to do? Should i try to download a different program all together? I dont want to pay for lw if it isnt gonna work for me!!!!!!
jewlsb

thanks for tryin

Pay? LimeWire is free :)

All the other filesharing programs for Macs are based on java or LimeWire. As long as your system is messed up, the others won't work.

Run Webstart (It's in Applications/Utilities/Java). I expect it will crash too.

Right?

Lw Pro
 

I paid like $20.00 to get LW Pro.... and if it's not working - i have tried to fix this problem now for like 2-3weeks....its frustrating.......
