Hi Adam,

I am on a Mac G3 Running 8.6 with 96K of RAM

My internet connection is with NTL Glasgow -> Scotland

I think the servers are if RENFREW

I have tried the connection test and it came back, what is it... "Tested OK" or something?


Anyway, a while ago my Limewire Basic packed up!

I have now installed the latest MacClassic Version that's on your site...

But I was having similar problems -> Mac Freezing & Crashing.

I have went right through the Forum in the Hope of a solution, but I still can't get connected.

I Un-Installed the old 2.8.5 version
removed " .limewire " (folder) from the HD -> System Folder -> Preferences and threw it in the "Wastebasket" and emptied the "Wastebasket"

Did a New/Clean install of LimeWire

Rebooted after Clean Install

Turned off Norton Anti-Virus

Shut down the computer again

Restarted the computer & Rebuilt the desktop

And I still can't get connected.

I was going to try to do the proxy server trick that's on the forum, but I can't get past go.

Except once......


When I held down the "ctrl" key and clicked on open -> I did get LimeWire to open up... But I got the WARNING message "LimeWire was unable to set up a port to listen for incoming connections. Some features of LimeWire may not work as expected"


And in the (JAVA CONSOLE) window is showing this message:-
"LAX Version = 5.0 A nonfatal internal JIT (3.10.106(MRJ)) error 'chgTarg:
Conditional' has occurred in : 'org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient.executeMethod
(Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HostConfiguration;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpState;)I': Interpreting method.
Please e-mail this message along with reproducible sample to
jit-bugs-ppc@itools.symantec.com"

I hope you know what it means...???



As I am writing this email I am getting a warning that Netscape was unable to create a
network socket connection... Blah, Blah Blah, That's New...!!!

So now I will have to save this in something, close down Netscape and reboot the computer.

Then relaunch netscape and paste this back into an email.


Well here goes...!!!


I hope you can figure out what is going on here -> because I miss my LimeWire :-(.




Maximum respect,


Robert

Hi Adam,


I got LimeWire working again...


I Turned Off "Virtual Memory"

Restarted and rebuilt the desktop/s

Increased the Memory Preferred Size to 6375 K
and the Minimum Size to 2125 K

Turned Off my computer & Pulled Out the plug

Turned Off my cable modem & Pulled Out the plug

left it for a while and went and had a cup of tea...



Came back and pluged the computer and modem back in

Turned Off Extentions -> Held down SHIFT KEY



Held down the "ctrl" key and then -> clicked on "Open" to open the Java Console

LimeWire stalled again but this time id didn't totally Freeze Up...

But I initially got the same ERROR MESSAGE as before!!

This time I left it hanging and went and had my dinner.


When I came back LIMEWIRE had started up and had connected to the Network

I closed the "Do You Want To Upgrade" window.

I noticed this time though in the "Java Console" that there was some extra TEXT/CODING so here it is:-
LAX Version = 5.0
A nonfatal internal JIT (3.10.106(MRJ)) error 'chgTarg: Conditional' has occurred in :
'org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient.executeMethod (Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HostConfiguration;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpState;)I': Interpreting method.

I selected NOT to CONNECT on Launch -> Closed LimeWire Down


Went to ReStart/ReLaunch LimeWire -> AND IT WORKED...!!!

I even managed to download the files I was looking for VERY QUICKLY!!!

So I closed it down again -> Restarted the computer - with Extentions ON - No Conflict.

So I closed it down again -> Turned Virtual Memory back on -> Restarted the computer -
with Extentions ON - STILL No CONFLICT.

I think I've cracked it....!!


OH YEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

Hi Adam,


Got a different problem now...

I went to relaunch LimeWire again, after I had Netscape opend and Virtual Memory back on and this came up:-
"One or more neccessary files apear to be invalid.
This is generally cause by a coruppted installation.
Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again.
If the problem persists, please copy and paste the
message below and send it to; bugs@limewire.com
Thank you.


LimeWire version 4.0.10Java version1.1.8 from Apple Com

Well here it is...




I am also going to post this on the forum, just in case it helps any one else.




Maximum respect,


Robert.

Hi Adam,

I have Turned Virtual Memory back off again and LimeWire Launched fine, but won't Connected to the Network when asked.

Here is the Text/Code from the Java Console Window when it works:-
LAX Version = 5.0
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUIMediator.showDialogs ForFirstVisibility(GUIMediator.java:342)

at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThre ad.java)


I hope this helps you...

I can tell that the Java Console text/code is similar, but different, I hope you guys can read it because I haven't got a clue what it is saying, anyway hope this helps.




Maximum respect,

BTW this is not the limewire site. This is a forum run by volunteers. I'm not an expert & there are some here who know a lot more than me. But we try to help how we can.

My advice is to get more physical RAM! VM is a PITA, an earlier computer I had ran so slow due to VM but I needed the xtra (psuedo) ram. With that little ram, I'd recommend you designate specific times & days to use LW with VM off. Then reactivate it for your other stuff otherwise. (ie: your HDD & bus speeds will be very slow compared to what LW requires ... so VM is not really a wise option unless a very last option. Java for 8.6 is already slow & inefficient enough without slowing things down otherwise such as with VM on a slow system.)

Yep allocating more ram to LW certainly won't do it any harm. BTW it's been less than 20 months since I used LW 2 on a G3. But there was 224 MB ram on it. I kept changing allocation of ram to LW depending upon how many incompletes, & shared files. It seemed in my situation that allocating too much ram when it wasn't needed actually seemed to cause issues. BUT I'm refering to a now very defunct version, AND I was using OS 8.5 which had an even more inferior Java version which was the root of all the problems.

Make sure your java version is at least MRJ 2.2.5: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097

If LW 4.0.10 isn't connecting, try deleting the LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED!!! The preferences folder is titled .limewire & if you list your preferences folder by list (prefs folder found in Mac HD>system folder>Prefs folder>.limewire), you should find it at the top of the list. Then just trash it. Try with LW again & see how it goes. Tell us if it doesn't work ok. Remember, it may take LW a while to load up both your incompletes AND your shared files so give it lots & lots of time to connect. Over an hour.
