Thanks to everyone for trying these solutions, and our apologies for the continuing frustrations.

As I've mentioned before, the underlying problem here is that Java is really not very well supported on Mac OS 9.1 and below, although it is very well supported on OSX. We will continue to try to fix these problems, but I am not optimistic due to the weak underlying support for the programming language.
With all due respect, LimeWire is the ONLY Java app that causes problems like this consistently. I suggest the problem is not the Java support in OS 9.1, but more realistically with LimeWire's poor technical implementation.

This seems to be a regular problem when engineers try port a Windows application to the Mac... there is a basic lack of understanding of how to correctly write the language using Apple's OS. Maybe OSX will help, but many of us refuse to switch over until this platform is fully supported across the board... and it's a convenient excuse for developers who write shabby products for Mac OS 9.1 and below.

From the functionality design standpoint, LimeWire is a sleek, sexy Corvette. Unfortunately, under the hood, the engine is more like a Yugo. I strongly recommend that everyone avoid this junker.
