Hi Lord of the Rings,
thanks for the reply.
I did step a) and b) alright - but when I downloaded (I had Pro by the way) the older version of Limewire, it downloads to desktop and when you double click on the folder it does not open the usual install window with the drop to Applications illustration.
Just a folder full of stuff -50 or 60 items - I don't understand and don't know what to do with.
Help please (again!)
Sandra

I trashed the newest version of Limewire and placed the funny folder with the 50 .jar bits in the applications folder. Now all I get is a ? on the LW icon in the Dock.
???? OOops?!

Ok, sorry, took a second look and it seems I had downloaded a REALLY old version that was not for OSX. DUHHHHHH!!! now I downloaded LW 4.18 and it works fine - only thing is I no longer have PRO.... ;-(
