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. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. 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. 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. 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. 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. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Appropriate Permissions?? I have LW on my desktop w/Windows XP, and I just got a loptop w/Vista. I downloaded LW and when I go to start LW I get this error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing is working. Someone PLEASE help me.   |

| 1. Make sure you have Java 1.6 ((JRE) 6.0) Download Java software from Sun Microsystems & choose Offline installer. 2. Quote from one of the LW Programmers: "Vista tried to outsmart itself in dealing with folder permission problems. If a user tries to save a file to a location outside of their user directory, it will create a pseudo-directory somewhere else that only the running program will see. When that program runs, it will appear as if the file is in the expected location, but no other programs nor exploring from the desktop will see it. If you're using Vista and want to see your files outside of LimeWire, you MUST make the save directory somewhere within your user directory." 3. Go to Desktop Right Click On LimeWire Icon (or Installer) Go to the Compatibility Tab Go Down To Where It Says "Privilege Level" Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box Then Click "OK" Open LimeWire When Pop Up Asking For Security Permission Comes Up Click Allow LimeWire Will Open and Vista Should Work |

| Ahhhhhhhhh! I just noticed the fine print on the downloads showing online and offline. I mistakenly downloaded online. What should I do? |

| Nothing major. Not sure if it will make a difference but you could download the offline version & re-install. What I'd recommend is deleting your LW preferences before you try to open the program. LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista That way next time you open LW, you can reset your path to a download folder within your own account area or area of control. |
