Error type2
 

Whenever I click LW icon, I get this message.
"The application "LimeWire" has unexpectedly quit,
because an error of type 2 occurred."
I can install , run LW with all extension off. ( restart + Shift key)
That's weird and of course the application doesn't work without extensions.

LW v3.5.8
I'm running with 9.2.2/MRJ 2.2.6

type 2 means you ran out of memory--give LW at least 68 megs (or more).

Error again
 

Stief,
Thank you very much for your advice.
I gave LW 70 megs and put away some fishy extensions
(eq: ATM, RAM Doubler 9) but still I got same message.

Hi Ton. If you removed ram doubler, would you look at your memory control panel and make sure virtual memory is also on? (Ram Doubler 9 is the equivalent, and turns Apple's virtual memory off). Give that a try first. ATM shouldn't interfere, but does use a lot of memory.

A few other steps you can try:
find the Apple Applet Runner in the MRJ 2.2.6 folder, and give that 70 megs too. (let me know if this works--the Applet Runner is supposed has been recommended in the past, but . . . )

Next, would you take a look at what Apple says about MRJ 2.2.6. It's usually not recommended You can reinstall Java with MRJ 2.2.5 from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097

Dead end
 

Hi stief,
Thanks again!
I did everything you said but it remains the same result.
Maybe, I should give up LW until I get OSX.

hi ton--LW can work well with OS 9, so there's a problem on your machine. Besides, OS 10.3 is coming.

If you want to keep trying, post what machine are you using and how much physical memory is installed (Apple Menu->About this Macintosh). Maybe someone will know more and can offer an answer.

Sorry I couldn't help more (I'm usually booted in OSX)--LimeDude has good suggestions for using OS 9--you can search for his posts and see if any look like they might help.

I will be happy to help.

I hope it will help to solve my problem.

Try this. Go under the Apple menu and come down to Control Panels then go to Extensions Manager and where it says "Selected Set" Go under the pull down menu and try "Mac OS 9.2.2 Base" first and restart and then see if LimeWire works. If not try Mac OS 9.2.2 All. I hope that helps. Let me know if it works.

No Luck
 

Sorry Limedude, both didn't work.

I just read your first post again. It seems like you have an extension problem. Since you can run LimeWire just fine with extensions off. Try disabling extensions that might interfere with LimeWire. This is all I can think of now. Good luck. Just to let you know here are the Minimum System Requirements for LimeWire:

• 64 MB RAM
• Any of the following operating systems:
  Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP
  Mac Classic 8.1 or later
  Mac OSX
  Linux
  Unix such as Solaris
• A live connection to the Internet

No time
 

I don't have to spend much time to get rid of each individual extension and to reboot for testing which extension is cause of the problem.
One weird thing happend in my PC is that;
reboot (with shift key) --> LW can install and run.
All extension off ( using extensions manager) and reboot --> LW doesn't work.
Thank you for helping me, anyway.

Sorry! my English
 

Last post I did is not I want to say.
I want to say
---> I don't have much time to spend~
Sorry .:o

Someone told me that this might help you. He recalls ram doubler having another file (invisible?) in the system folder. It would take two restarts to get rid of all Ram doubler effects once you managed to remove all the pieces from the system folder. Go under the Apple menu and come down to Sherlock. After it comes up search for ram doubler. You can either delete it completely or disable it. I would just delete it if I were you. but its up to you. Then click the Edit button in Sherlock . The top of the window will say "More Search Options" Go to "Advanced Options" and check the first box where it says is: invisible. and search for ram doubler again.

Thanks!
 

Thanks!
You guys are very helpful but I gave up LW with OS9.

I am sorry to hear that you gave up on LimeWire. You just have to startup with extensions off if you want to use LimeWire. No problem Ton, glad I could help you.

Not Yet!
 

Yo' Ton

LW really does work great with OS9. I've run LW on 9.1/.2.1 and currently use 9.2.2 with LW 3.8. I think that perhaps you may have one of two problems or maybe both. First of all, re-download LW and reinstall. It is possible that some javascript in your current LW became corrupted. Secondly, you may have an extension conflict and those are very common. If a conflict is the problem, all you need to do is make sure that extension is disabled whenever you use LW. Let us know what happens.
