Program stalls on startup
 

I just downloaded and installed Limewire for the first time on my G4 running OS 9.1. The program will not completely load at startup; it stops at the point where it says "Loading user interface...." After this point there is no disk activity no matter how long you wait and the program has to be force-quit. Any ideas? (I have allocated 64 K for the program memory.)

Thought I Had The Answer
 

I'm having the same problem, too. I thought I had found a solution to it, and excitedly just posted it here. But alas, I am stuck with the problem.

What's up with LimeWire? The past 3 versions I tried to download have been very buggy. :(

Same problem with 2.7.11
 

"Loading user interface...."

I am having the same exact problem. I dumped limewire 3 times and fresh reinstalled. Even started with no extensions and no other apps running. No effect. Of course I had to trash my WORKING copy of LW before I confirmed this new version worked. Anyone got any ideas?

Same here!
 

Same problem here. I'm just posting to get the email notification if there's a reply.

I have the eternal hang with the latest version as well.
G3 233, OS 8.6

Same problem here on both a TiBook G4 running OS9.2.2 and a PM8500 running 8.6. I get either "An error of type 2 occurred" or the eternal hangup on start. Did they test this before releasing it? I also downloaded one that was supposed to work from Tucows, but after 40 minutes of downloading, the .sit file is "corrupted" and won't expand.

Startup Stalls
 

Version 2.7.13 solved my problems. Go get the upgrade if you haven't tried it yet. I thought it was happening again when it got to "Loading User Interface..." ,but after a few seconds there, it finally finished launching. No other problems since then.

I tried downloading that one - no dice. I still get the type 2 error.

peez o caca
 

Well, After getting version 2.7.13 to work on my old 266 iMac running 9.1 at home, I thought I would try it here on my Quicksilver G4 running 9.2.2 here at work. I was going to ask pietro_z if he was running the latest version of stuffit just in case that was the problem with his "corrupt" .sit file. Well, I downloaded the LimeWireMac.bin file from the link above and something entirely new went wrong. When I double clicked the installer, I got this error message:

While trying to start the next step of the installer, an error occurred. Could not find file 'InstallAnywhere installer'. Please contact your software vendor.

Par for the course.
