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.

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.

What exactly's happening when you try to install? Are you getting any error messages?
The more info you can give us, the better.

Default not installing

It just sits there, "loading" and a pop up with firewall and will not go away. Once you click the red X to get rid of the box the whole thing goes away.

So I sit there, install, go through, hit english, next, Cable, next, start auto (and also tried unchecking), nothing after that, it sits there loading saying that its installing the library.

It sounds like Java is not loading correctly. You need to go to add/remove programs and remove all previous versions of Java then reboot go back and check to see that all previous versions of Java have been removed. Then go to C:/Program Files and delete the Java Folder reboot. Now with that all done download the Java offline installer to your computer once you have the installer downloaded install Java then LimeWire.

Your Modem/Router may have a firewall in it or your ISP may have started blocking or shaping P2P traffic unfortunately you have not supplied enough details for us to help you. If you could supply more info it would be helpfull.

I have reinstalled java, and limewire. Java has been confirmed successful install.
I keep getting the message that a firewall is blocking limewire. I have been using limewire since Jan. 2006, it was only when I upgradied to the new version that I began getting this message. I used the old version in the morning, and installed the updated version the same evening. I do not believe any settings were changed with me ISP provider in that time frame.

When you installed the new version did your firewall ask if you wanted to grant permission for LimeWire to access the INTERNET. If it did not you will have to add LimeWire to you allow list. If it is already in your allow list remove it from the list then add it again.

Question No Luck!!

The only thing that happens repeatedly is, a Java window opens after the LW loadup screen starts. The screen says:
"One or more necessary files appear to be invalid.
This is generally caused by a corrupted installation.
Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again.
If the problem persists, please visit www.limewire.com
and click the 'Support' link.
Thak You."

LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.5.0_11 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 3159176/4128768

com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$StartupFailed Exception: file [LimeWire.jar] has hash of [0B27FDA0142B4B9559F936A9C3EBBDB8] instead of expected [230136A3E23FE1D848AE9E024838A41E]

STARTUP ERROR!

etc......

I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it again, but still no luck, and I've also tried your suggestions... they still didn't work.
Even though we are getting the system for free, is it possible for someone specifically a technician from limewire, be able to help us out....

Or is this a form of way to tell us that, it time for us to stop getting freebies and start paying!!

Sorry, there aren't any LW technicians here

Try this:

1. Reinstall Java. Use the JRE offline installer here. Remove your current Java version before you install the new one.
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

2. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW is properly closed. See points 2 & 3 below. If you've only used very recent versions of LW then the folder will be in point 3's location. If you've used much older versions in the past, there could be a folder in both locations.
Fixes for LimeWire
Deleting this folder will kill all of your settings within options...you'll have to go back thru & reset your options afterwards.

3. Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

A corrupted installation is a corrupted installation...whether you have Pro or basic.

PLUS the logo stays on my screen.
I have to reboot my computer to get the logo off.
I contacted LW, via email 3 times and I called 212-219-6050.....NO replies.
Anyone have an answer to why my LW does not work?
Thanks.

I have tried everything in order to get lw to open and run and nothing has happened. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lw several times along with java. I have also tried the back-up installer with no luck. When i click on the lw icon the start-up screen pops up and stays in the middle of the screen and the only way to get it off is to restart. I get the firewall screen asking me to allow access and as soon as i do nothing. I've read everything on this forum followed all directions and still nothing. I've had lw for about 1 year with no problems, bought the new version of pro and thats when it all started. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

Bogus site?
That's the first time I heard that.
You have a link to the real site?
Also, I called my bank and told them that I'm disputing the $14.50 charge ( just on principle) and they are going to reverse the charge.
