•The command-line drive utility fsck is invoked by booting into single-user mode (command+s at startup) and then typing fsck -yf

•I don't know why Limewire is crashing for you. It may be the Java update, since you mention the problem started occurring after a software update. In any case, if you're using the official Limewire client, realize that most people strongly prefer other Limewire clients such as Acquisition.

yeah well i finally got Acquisition and as soon as i double click on it...it goes in my tray then goes away and it doesn't load. I think i tried to get it before cuz i heard it was good from someone else. But it never seems to want to work on my computer.

The "tray" is the Dock, by the way, in Mac parlance!

Sounds like your OS might be "borked", to use the technical term. Run Disk Utility to clean up the disk, then do an archive-and-install of the OS, with all the updates. That might help.
