LW 5 is not compatible with OSX 10.4 unfortunately due to the earlier Java version Jaguar uses.

You will need to revert back to LW 4, recommended is LW 4.16 but your choice of course. Before you install you will need to remove the install limewire.pkg file from the Receipts folder else OSX will prevent you from installing an earlier version.
See older version links here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...link-here.html

I have done what you said. I first made sure that there was no limewire stuff on my computer. I then tried the lw 4.16 from the site you gave.
It wouldn't let me even download that one saying it was not recognized.
So I got rid of that and tried to download the LW 4.12.15 which is what I think I had on there and it downloads the green icon and when I go to click on that it takes me to the screen .. where do you want this file ... it tells me an older version exsist and is it ok to replace, I say yes, then it says it cannot install because there is nothing there. I should have just left things alone with the older version. And to top off a great evening of losing my Limewire, all my songs in my itunes vanished. I have tried everything and cannot seem to get limewire at all :-(

actually ... it is telling me that a newer version exists and if it OK to replace the newer version with the old and I say yes... however, I have done a full search on my computer and I can find nothing that says Limewire is on my computer any more, but it is telling me that it can't install because there is nothing to install. This is all very frustrating.
