Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

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.

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. 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.

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.

Default Help, my LimeWire wont open!

Whenever I click on the LimeWire icon, the error sound comes up, but no message identifying an error appears, yet my LimeWire refuses to open up! This just started happening today and I've got no idea how to fix it, I tried to check if it was Firewalled but it wasn't.

How can I fix this?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.)

If still problems, uninstall your Java using your Add/Remove control panel & then reinstall using the "Offline" java installer from the link above in step 1.

I've tried EVERYTHING, but it still doesn't work! I saw someone mentioning loosening the security setings for Windows Pack 2 or something, how do you do that?

If you have XP then did you consider a system restore?

Were you refering to this patch which increases connections http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools

Your problem sounds like a system issue. If you've deleted preferences, reinstalled Java & LW, then I'm not sure. How about a reformat.

You did configure your system didn't you for LW so it can connect through the firewalls re: XP firewall & UPnP settings for your modem/router? See Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Try everything again then; uninstall Java & reinstall using the "Offline" version. Delete the LW preferences. Reinstall LW using the "Offline" installer. There's a new LW 4.10.9 version out.

Before doing this however, try running this small utility Crap Cleaner

BTW you could always post at Norbies site in the general section & explain a program refuses to open.

BTW if you don't already have them, run these programs 1. ad-ware (FREE), & also 2. Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you tried reinstalling Java with not effect, then uninstall & downgrade to Java 1.4.2 or if that's what you already have, upgrade to 1.5
Links to Java in the very 1st link I left about fixes for LW.
