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.

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.

| Try updating your Java: Java SE Downloads Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing this one. Next, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. If you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista If that doesn't help, right click on the LW icon > properties > compatibility. Try running in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT. If you're using Vista, run in compatibility mode for XP. Do you have Alcohol software installed? If you do, look here. LW starts then close, log: resolve_virtual_call

| Try this version: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe Actually the problem might be with java. Uninstall all java you have & reinstall using only the OFFLINE installer (15 MB) Download Java software from Sun Microsystems |

 same results Well I deleted Java and reinstalled with the offline version and also reinstalled LimeWire. I got the same results that I did previously. UGH. This should be so simple. The last screen I got to on LimeWire was "you're almost done" and "I will not use LW 4.18.8 for copyright infringement". I really want this program! Please help........  |

| hmm ... not sure why you are still having problems if using the OFFLINE LW installer I listed in my previous post. Another option is using the 'Other' version to see if same problems: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. Be careful to double-click the right LW icon to start the program. The largest one is the actual program. |

| Just hello!!! Been using this program for years and love it. I have installed it on my vista business machine and was having some issues. I had to edit the registry after uninstalling version 4.18.3 and clean installed 4.18.8 (removed all references to Limewire). Everything seems to work well. My problem was that the upgrade would go thru the install process, when I checked the version It still read 4.18.3 so the upgrade did not work. The fix above solved the problem. Tony |

(2) Uninstall Java using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel & reinstall using the OFFLINE installer. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp  Did you re-install LW by the way, or is this a sudden new problem for an experienced user? Judging by the location of your preferences folder, I'd suggest an experienced user. The reason I ask is there is a small chance a virus 'might' be involved which is mucking LW up when starting up.

| Limewire fails to install Thank you for the reply. I am using Vista Business and have had all kinds of issues with this program from problems with itunes to Lime-wire. I believe it may have to do with Vista Business edition missing the media handlers. Here is what I had to do to get Lime-wire to install correctly and work. I too was thinking virus, I use AT&T's security suite and ran a full scan and the system was clean. Next I ran a spyware scan and found grokster and Lime-wire spyware, removed those removed all entires in the registry that dealt with Lime-wire restarted the system, disabled the security suite and ran the install. Success Tony |

| May I ask which sppyware scan you used? Reason I ask is many are not p2p friendly & will see many p2p programs as having spyware when in fact they don't & then muck up the program. But the fact it works is fantastic. I wonder if it was something you downloaded ... it's got me curious now. |
