| thanks for the links Steif. But I'm still having problems installing a even a previous version of LW for OSX. I don't get it, I did it once. that wierd disappearing thing happens again. I ve been stuck using the LW with Mac 9.2. Oh well thx for the help. |

| For the record, here are the steps I go through to make sure I'm starting clean in Jaguar (OS 10.1.5 should be similar I think) Run the LimeWire Uninstall program, then search for the visible and invisible Limewire prefs (search term "limew" usually pinpoints the folder to trash) hold shift on a restart to boot in safe mode , repair permissions and if really on a roll, reinstall java 1.4.1 The java reinstall loads older versions, and doesn't take that long, so seems like a good idea anyway. If downloads gave too many error messages and I'm desperate, I'll also trash the incomplete folder, especially the downloads.dat file. (I don't like this step, because trap_jaw has been working on partial file sharing, and I hate wasting partial downloads). Then a reboot, and I try to make sure that Explorer downloads a fresh copy, not a cached one. If none of the above help and others can install, then creating a new admin user or the ridiculous Apple Tech advice to reinstall the system is all I can do.
