If you click once on the LW app icon and use "get info" (command-I) you can set the preferred memory--60 megs should do it. This is how much memory Limewire can use. (Virtual memory tells the system to use hard disk space instead of memory chips when it runs out, which works, but much more slowly). Search also for the Apple Applet Runner (it's usually in the Utilities or Extras folder), and give it 60 megs too. You can check at the same time to see if it is the MRJ version 2.2.5. (That means the java version is Apple's 2.2.5, which is the proper one for classic).

Cheers--glad the cables are fine. btw, the easiest way to find the LW prefs is use Sherlock to search for "limew"
