Limewire 1.9b fails to start up
 

I installed the classic version of Limewire 1.9b on my mac running Mac OS 9.2.2. Limewire 1.9b fails to start up and instead gives me an error message saying:

Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)
