Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Unhappy new to limewire setup wizard failure

Hi,
My iMac PowerPC G3 OS 9.1 and I are new to limewire and have ?'s regarding my failure starting limewire pro 2.9.11 application with the setup wizard it begins in the dialog box, all that appears in the window is text but no back, next or cancel buttons and all that the main menu shows is help and when I click on help, a error message appears which reads with these exact words: The application LimeWire has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 2 occurred. You should save your work in other open applications and restart the computer. After all that I thought maybe it had something to do with the MJR 2.2.5 download but that failed with a error message with exact words: the ShrinkWrap engine has reported an error Error-60, so I went back to downloading limewire and MJR 2.2.5 and at the end of my first and then even a second attempt downloading error messages occurred... I need help figuring out what went wrong.

Default Hi

The report of a Type 2 Errors usually means either you have an Extension conflict or that you have insufficent memory to run the application.

Have you installed any application that affects the standard Mac firewall. For example, I recently experimented with a package to control ports in the 4000+ range and had major problems across the whole firewall. These problems were almost completely eliminated when I uninstalled the package (I'm still searching for and eliminating odds bits of code down in root). Anyway, the moral is that, for most practical purposes, you should not mess with the standard Mac firewall. If you have, I recommend that you delete it and try Limewire again.

Alternatively, it may be that you have not assigned enough memory to MRJ 2.2.5. Make sure that you have the maximum allowable value which is 32000. To make the change, highlight the MRJ icon and from file menu select Show Info, then Memory. This allows you to reset the maximum value to 32000, but don't touch the minimum value. After this re-start your Mac and run LW again. If it still fails, it may be a virtual memory problem but that's another story.

BTW before downloading a new copy of Limewire, make sure you trash all elements of the version you are replacing. Use Finder to trash everything with Limew in the label and ensure a clean slate for each new download.

umm...there is no option to assign memory to MRJ2.2.5 (MacRuntime for Java)
please explain ,

Default Ummm?

I thought I did explain it? but obviously not well enough. Mea culpa. I suppose I may have misremembered life under OS 9.1 and, unfortunately, my older iMac has decided not to co-operate tonight so I cannot actually run through the process to verify my recollection but, for what it's worth, I'll try again. Find the icon for MRJ and click on it once to select it for action. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will see File and one of the elements in the pull-down is Show Info. Click on that option. Within that dialog, you should see a Memory option where you can change the amount allocated to the selected application. I hope that's right. If not, post back and, hopefully, someone with a workable older machine can more accurately guide you through the process.

Good luck

The Apple Applet Runner is the app inside the MRJ 2.2.5 folder that can have the memory modified. I just booted the G4 into OS 9 and changed the memory to 64000.

David--I thought you only had to change LW's memory allocation in 9--didn't think to change the Applet's runner. Thanks (even though I only use 9 now for troubleshooting!)

Very sorry to hear that, did you ever get MJR 2.2.5 installed?
I am also using 9.1 on an Imac. I had to re-install LW several times
to get everything working correctly...don't give up.
