lol @ the timing. I answered your question a minute before you even posted back.

Birdy already posted you what the download page looks like. I get the feeling you do not even read responses in this thread. I'm outta this thread; unsubscribing to spend time with members who actually 'read'. Good luck!

Umm, no. While I certainly appreciate Birdy's help, his image was not the download page at limewire.com.

Umm, do *you* actually read? If you did, you'd have noticed that *I* took the trouble to post what the limewire.com download page looks like.

I appreciated your earlier help, but your attitude negates it now.

Let's recap the LW installation process, as it might stand for a couple million PPC users:

1) Go to limewire.com
2) Click DL link
3) Install from the DLed disk image
4) Launch LW5 and see that it fails
5) Plus- your old Limewire installation is nuked
6) Search on Google
7) Find Gnutella forums
8) Register for Gnutella forums
9) Post question
10) Get advice from helpful person, which unfortunately fails, too
11) Wait overnight for further advice
12) Remove receipt file from obscure directory
13) Catch attitude on the forum

Not impressed.

And BEFORE you get to the download page, you select which you want, pro or Basic. Once selected you get to the page Birdy showed. Or didn't you even get that far.

ciao my last reply to 'you'

I told you what to do & you are STILL COMPLAINING like someone who wants to FLAME the people here who 'do' give others help. Go back & read Post #9

Did you forget to read that ! It tells you exactly what to do. WHat's more it's the same advice I've given many times over past few weeks. Did you consider that each question gets answered many times on the forums. We have a search button for members to find answers easily. Some are simply too lazy & think their self important issues demand personal attention.

Whatever LW.org does is their business. I contacted them to get them to put more information on the page for Mac users. WHich they have done in limited fashion. I'm still waiting for more notifications.

Wrong again.

The screen I posted earlier is the only thing you see after clicking the non-pro DL link on the limewire.com homepage.

You're the only one I criticized, because you're the only one with the nasty attitude.

Ummm- how exactly do you think I found this thread? The first thing I did was search. I searched for the verbiage in LW5's Java error dialog. No results. I tried another search with no good answer. Next I added a question to an *existing* thread -- this thread -- rather than start a new one.

And some older members start flaming new members for no good reason. Grow up.

You left out half the page, your image posted is only showing the top half of the page. Birdy's image shows the bottom half. :cantseeyou: lol :D
(Oh & the Older Versions link is to the right side of the page, which Birdy's image doesn't show. But this one does: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...0-5-later.html.)

Have a great day Kim777 :)

Wrong again.

Here's the whole screen from limewire.com (not .org):

http://kimhill.com/links/lime2.jpg

Nothing is left out.

Lime Wire » Download LimeWire :) Press Get Basic button

If you go to the limewire.com homepage & click on the big, non-pro DL link, you will never see that screen.

It does when I click the Get Basic button. I am using Safari. :) Firefox seems to look same too. :confused:

You're displaying: Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

I never see that URL. From the LW homepage, my Safari links directly to:

Lime Wire » Thank You for Downloading LimeWire

There is *no* warning there about versions there (I posted the screenshot earlier).

Regardless- the fact that the LW OS X installer doesn't even try to look at the OS version is inexcusable.
