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. 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. 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. 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. 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. |

 Windows registry issues Quote:
Just thought I'd update all those who tried to help with my issue - i.e. the Magent registry key that couldn't be deleted. My PC is a CISNet PC bought at Staples. Hardware is great, all industry standard leading stuff, dual core Athlon, MSI mobo etc. However, rather than ship their PCs with Windows media kits, they create an invisible system recovery partition on the hard drive which installs Windows for you. It seems that due to some latency between my too fast CPU and the too slow IDE hard drive, the registry was getting corrupted whenever I did a system recovery, and apparently was corrupted when I opened the box after getting it home from the store. You'd think their installer would be intelligent enough to manage the hardware they are selling, but no. Anyway, after doing a system recovery, I was able to install Limewire, but my wireless drivers stopped working. Did another system recovery, and something else broke. Why can't companies just ship a Windows CD??? Anyway, thanks all, we now have an answer to this question in case someone else stumbles across the same problem. - Bill  |

| I don't know if I'm in the right place but can anyone help I downloaded Limwire with no problems and enjoyed using it (for the two days I got to use it) I was very proud that I downloaded it myself being a computer idiot! anyway my husband deleted the desktop icons and I don't know what else. I did a search for limewire and found the rest of the files and tried to open it from there, no luck. Went to add/remove programs - nothing their either and nothing under "programs" either. I deleted what i could and tried to start again and it keeps saying i'm running it in my systems tray (where is that?) it proceeds to tell me to right click on the icon and click "exit" *sigh* I don't get the option to exit! So now I can't run limewire and can't un-install it and can't download! Any ideas?? Remember i'm not computer literate. It took me 20 mins just to figure out how to work this thread thing! |

So I did and received the same message as the one quoted above. I read all the posts in this thread and I have tried several of the suggestions but nothing has worked. I deleted and reinstalled Java and Limewire as suggested previously but still no luck, just the darn message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

| So you're not getting the corrupted installation message anymore but you're getting the 'save folder not valid' message? Try deleting LW's preferences folder. Just make sure that LW's properly closed first. See points 2 & 3 in the thread below Fixes for LimeWire |

| Thanks Birdy I will give it a try. The corrupt message came up as I went to use the previous version that I had been using for some time. Additionally the message directed me to reinstall Limewire. After I installed the newer version I received the "save folder is not valid or may have been deleted..." as well as a "fatal error/corrupt installation" message. |

| If you were using quite an old version before, just check the location of your preferences folder...you could have an older .limewire folder or the newer one within Application Data, check for both. |

 I revisited the thread link you provided and deleted the Limewire preferences folder in the C:/Documents And Settings file as instructed. That did the trick.  My mistake was that I assumed (we all know what they say about assuming) that since I had uninstalled the previous Limewire installations that everything was gone. W R O N G!  Birdy, thank you again. Your assistence and direction is greatly appreciated. |
