LW 5 not even opening
 

Help! Just downloaded LW for the first time and it won't open. Each time I click on it I get this message:
"You can't open limewire because it requires a version of Java that is not available (!!!). This application requires a 1.6+ version of java. The available version 1.5 may be able to open this application, but it may not work correctly"
The options are to use 1.5 or quit. If I try 1.5, LW still won't open.
I have an up to date Power PC imac running OS 10.5.6 and all software is the latest thanks to the software updater tool.
Help!!!:confused:

go to Download Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.12 - FileHippo.com and download the latest java runtime environment, reboot, then try to open it again, if not then download this version of limewire http://www.filehippo.com/download_limewire/4669/ because a lot of people are having a lot of problems with LimeWire 5.0 (e.g very few results in search and skin problems).
Sometimes the newest version of software isn't always the best :)

Thanks for help but those sites seem to be for PC users....do you know where I can get an older LW for a Mac?

Try this site Old Version of LimeWire for Mac Download, the newest oldest version of LimeWire only go up to 4.16 but personally i think its still better than 5.0, hope this version helps :):):):)

Cheers Sheikh - Just downloaded 4.16 and all is working perfectly - am very happy. Why do they bother with newer versions when they don't even work???

Happy i helped, my friend.
I dont know really i think they wanted to cut down on all the junk to make it safer, and a lot (well, most) of the search results were junk, so they filtered it all out, resulting in less results.
Be careful what you download :):):):):)
