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.
