I am tryng to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5.2.
The error message reads: "This software cannot be installed on this computer."

12" iBook G4(white) 333MHz, 1.2 Gig Ram
 
One thing is there is no such thing as a 333 Mhz G4. Secondly, how are you trying to install it?
 
"This software cannot be installed on this computer."

This is the exact error you get when trying to use a grey Restore DVD from one type of computer on another which is against the EULA: the restore DVD is only licensed for the machine it shipped with.

Try again with a legal, retail copy of Leopard.
 
10.5 requires a 867MHz or higher processor.
EDIT: I'm guessing the OP has just downloaded to 10.5.2 installer from the Apple site? Doesn't work like that I'm afraid...
