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. |

| Did you try to install using the offline installer?? Also, what about your Java installation? Did you update it prior to the LW installation?? Uninstall all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Install it and reboot again, then try to install LW. ![]()

| Hmm, that's odd. Try force quitting it & reinstall (Control-alt-del & open process manager to do this.) I would recommend the "Offline" version which is 2nd on the download page. That way you're not installing whilst waiting for the files to be sent over the internet. With the offline installer, all necessary files (except Java) are within the installer on your computer. In fact, I would also recommend installing Java offline before you install LW. Get Java here http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp which is about a 15 MB download. And of course, get the offline LW installer from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

| So I had LimeWire on my old computer but recently got a new one. I tried installing and everything went fine until the last window, where you "finish" and run the program. However, nothing comes up: the program never runs. I read all the faq and lots of the forums. I used internet explorer, not AOL, and when i went to uninstall java or whatever, it's not even a program on my computer. What should I do?! Thanks so much!! |

| If you don't have Java, LW won't work. Download the latest JRE offline installer here http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Just double check that there's no old Java versions on your comp. If there is, remove it. If there's not then install the JRE. Now reinstall LW & use the offline installer (not the recommended one) http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

| i am trying to reinstall limewire on my new computer with windows xp from my old computer with ME but everytime it says i need to have java runtime which i do. i tried downloading different versions of java but it doesnt make any difference |
| ||||
| Hmm I've heard of that problem before. Go to add/remove control panel & remove all earlier versions of Java & just leave the latest version. Then reboot. Download the "other" LW installer version & try that. Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. If still issues, try the options here Fixes for Limewire Not sure what you mean from your old computer. If you want to transfer your previous incomplete files, copy the entire incomplete folder from the ME machine & replace the new incomplete folder on the XP machine but ONLY whilst LW is closed & of course after you have successfully installed LW. |

| Please help! When I try to run LW I get to "loading user interface" then it just disappears - nothing! I've removed Java and LW and reinstalled using offline installer, but still the same problem! I am using an older version of LW (4.5) because when I try to use the newer versions I get a strange box appear under the LW loading screen (nothing recognizable in it). I am using Windows 98, and was able to use this version of LW previously, but it suddenly stopped loading. I was going to delete the .limewire folder as suggested by LOTR, but the post said to "save the information because it will be needed later" - what info. should I save, and where do I use it later? Thanks. |

| I still can't get LW to load! As I said, I reinstalled Java with offline installer, then I downloaded the "Other" version of LW and unzipped and installed that (after removing all traces of previous LW from my computer). Now I still have the same problem - LW gets to the "loading user interface" part, then just disappears. My computer is part of a network (mine is not the main computer) - could this be causing a problem? Also, the main computer and mine have Network Magic - could something from the main computer be preventing LW from loading on my computer? Any thoughts or suggestions would VERY appreciated! Thanks. |

| If you paid for LW and got 360Share then you got scammed. Read here: Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites Purchase LW only from the official site: http://www.limewire.com/ ![]()
