i don't know if this is the texts which's needed to know whats wrong but the message says the javaapplication unexpectedly quit.
i reinstalled limewire but the problem resist.

do you have a recent Apple MRJ installed? if so, completely uninstall LimeWire, trash every installer and alias you have lying in your hard drive, desktop, and Apple menu, reboot your computer, get another installer, reinstall.
