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.

I am having the same problem & Ive v_i_r_u_s scanned alot & found nothing.
I know one thing thats making my PC freeze, and its not enough disk space (which is my main hassle with computing.. Oh come on.. who gets a computer with a TOTAL amount of 7GB disk space.. My eyepod holds more than that!!.)
But do you have the latest version of Java?
How much RAM do you have?
Do you have a low amount of disk space? (this depends on what you consider low and what your total space is.)

Also heres another thing to consider.. Does your PC freeze up mostly when you try to launch a certain program? (Mine does when I launch LW)

You could have a number of problems causing your freezing. Too many programs running, or not responding, or someone could even possibly be pinging you.

Hi GamerCyGirl

Seems like you are PC troubles are going to be long term friends

First the bad news, it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to tell you what is wrong with your PC without a thorough examination. You see, whatever has got onto your PC is buried so deep that conventional software, like Norton AntiVirus, etc., can't find it.

Some good news, all is not lost, get your parents to take your PC back to the place they bought it to get it repaired, which will require a full reformat and replacement of all the drivers and software. So, your PC will be turned back to day one.

Some even better news, if you still have your start-up disk that came with your PC you, or your Dad, could get the PC back to "day one" yourself. The disk will reformat your hard disk and put everything back the way it was when you first got the machine.

As with any "day one" PC you will have to put all the other software you have bought back on yourself (and of course you will lose all your data in the reformatting process).

Anyway, good luck.



UK Bob

Hey it could because of a virus called Virtumonde/Vundo. Anti Virus Software doesnt pick this up but this tool will. Just Download and run the program. I found 34 instances of it on my computer.

It has this 2.53GHz, 192MB of RAM this is on system then when I go to Local Disk I move the arrow over it it says: Free Space 20.7GB Total Space 37.2GB
Is that good memory or not?

you haven't given any type of information as to what your computer is...

like manufacturer, CPU, brand of Hard Disk (HDD), etc...

at the very least (assuming you are running some flavor of windows) run chkdsk to see if there are any errors on your HDD, then defragment it afterwards...

to run chkdsk:
start>run then type in: chkdsk C: /f

you will find that it can't do it, but will ask if you want to run it the next time you boot up your machine...type Y (for yes) then hit enter...the next time you restart your HDD will be checked for errors...

to defragment:

start>control panel>administrative tools>computer management

hit the defragment button and let it run...


then see if this makes your stuff run better...

what OS are you using?

192MB of ram is way low for any OS IMHO...I have 2GB....

since you state your cpu is running at 2.53GHz, I'm going to guess its a P4B running at 533 MHz and you are running windows XP....as noted your RAM is way too low for any good...you need at least 512MB and more like 1024MB to really perform....if my assumption of your cpu is correct, then you need RAM that is PC2700...and of course you need to verify that it is compatible with your system before you buy it....

furthermore...

I suggest you download and install SpyBot Search & Destroy, and AdawareSE (both freeware)...update them...then run them...something that your AV scanner missed might be found...

google the above names for download links...I suggest straight from the manufacturer!....when updating Spybot use the Safer Networking servers....
