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.

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. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13. 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.

 LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista In order to find the preference folder in Vista you will first have to enable show hidden files and folders. You can do this by clicking on Start/User Name (Attachment #1)/Organize/ in the drop down window choose Folder and search Options in the next drop down window choose View and put a tick mark in in the Show hidden files and folders. Then click apply to folders. (Attachment #2) Once that is done the AppData file will show up click on it then choose Roaming. In the window that shows up right click on the LimeWire file and delete it. ( Attachment #3)

| The pref folder can become corrupted and cause LW not to function correctly. Deleting it(while LW is completely shut down) forces LW to create a new one and that should fix any corrupt files in that folder. Kinda like hitting a reset button. Deleting it changes all the settings in LW back to the default, so if you've made any changes to the options, you should make a note of them before deleting the pref folder. That way you can put them back the way you had them.

 Hi, I just got Vista and am having some problems with LW. I originally changed my saved folder when I first downloadedd LW and everything was fine. Then today after downloading a few mp3's they are nowhere to be found. They appear in my LW library but when I search for them on my computer they are not there. I just went through these steps and deleted the LW folder in Roaming and when I re-started LW I had to re-set all my preferences, and once again I re-set my save folder. My files still aren't saving to my computer but are downloading. Any ideas?? Thanks!! |

| Yeah, tried all that - the pref folder, the JAVA Reinstall, the uninstall of the firewall and reinstall of LW - you name it. Having used Limewire successfully for several years under XP and prior, it is unacceptable that a product that I have paid money for does not work under Vista - this is 2007 for GS. What is LW doing about it - I don't see ANY assistance to registered users with valid licences from them. Nick |

| Vista - not loading with many other users, under Vista LW won't get past the first bar when trying to connect. So many others have the same problem I can't see that it is specific to my system - I am running windows firewall and AVG for virus checking otherwise it just a normal basic set up. Nick |
