I just downloaded and installed limewire 5.1.4. Running a G4 Powerbook with Mac OS 10.5.7. I installed limewire and the installation says it was installed and complete.
I double click in the limewire alias on the desktop and nothing happens.
I tried opening from the file menu, limewire still doesn't open.

I had downloaded and installed Limewire about a month ago and it never worked. I didn't have to time to deal with trying to get it to work, so I left it.
Today I deleted the limewire folder from the applications prior to downloading the newest version.

Not a Mac wiz here, can anyone help.
I looked for the gnutella file like they suggest from a couple of years back, but couldn't locate limewire preferences.
PLEASE help.
Thanks

hi d57rock Unfortunately LW 5 is not compatible with G4's. The computer needs to be an intel. This is due to intel's 64-bit design so it can install Java 1.6 which LW 5 requires & Java 1.6 for OSX was only made for 64-bit computers (thus only intel computers.)

See point #1 here about getting LW 4.16: Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads I use LW 4.16 myself & find it a great version.

thanks lord of the rings,
I can't seem to even locate the
MacOSX: _ OSX -> Users -> Account Name -> Library -> Preferences -> LimeWire.

there is no sign of limewire in the preferences file in the library.
Can I just install the LW4 and trash the install of the LW5 I previously installed.
Nothing at all runs when I click on the LW5 version.
Am I missing something here?
I appreciate your help.
