Sorry, buddy. This is called a kernel panic.

It usually indicates something wrong. IF it happens again, call apple.

Call 1-800-MY-APPLE

Did it happen when you first opened limewire. If so, then yes, uninstall it. If not, or if the program was not open when the panic happened, it is unlikely the cause.

just as a point of intrest DONT USE LIMEWIRE i used to use it and it was nothing but trouble for me, and ,other that porn, its one of the most common virus spreaders at my school. find a different program! if you want to send money get Acquisition i used it for a while and it was great.

It messes up windows because of viruses and spyware. There is no spyware or viruses for the mac. Really

NO VIRUSES!

ok thanks for you very quick help and now the limewire is gone

good, now you can start the search for a new p2p program that has an intel version that "just" works

Use Acquisition instead of Limewire.
