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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Question Decifer This Install Error Report, PLEASE??

Okay, my old version of Limewire got slower and slower and eventually would not work, so I figured I'd update. Now it wont install properly. Here is the error report it gave me:

1. Try the tips here from 1, 2, 3 & 5: Fixes for Limewire

* Tip 1 means use your add/remove control panel to remove 'all' java versions & then reinstall java off line version only.

I must apologize if this is ignorant of me:

I uninstalled my version of Java, and went to the link shown in Tip #1, however, I don't see a 1.5 version on that page. I'm only seeing several downloads for version 5.0 So, I guess I will just try the one for 5.0 (JRE) and use the off-line install.

Thank you for helping!
Julie

Sorry for being persistant. But are you sure you tried both steps 2 & 3 in the fixes link about deleting your LW prefs folder? In step 3 you must turn options to show "hidden" files & folders otherwise you won't find the LW prefs folder.

Which was your previous version of LimeWire?

Download the "Offline" version of LW & install that.

Yes I did 2 and 3. When I did 3 (viewed hidden) there was no limewire folder in there. I'm not sure which previous version I had. ALso, when I reinstalled Limewire, I did use the off line version. Off-line for the Java you suggested, and off-line for LW too. Is there anything else I can try or should or should I just try them all again?

Go to start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall.

Downld this version Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!

If still problems, try step 5 in my 1st link about changing compatibility to windows 2000 or win NT, try both.
BTW your new prefs folder will now be found in the hidden application data folder.

It might also be worth doing a search after you uninstall LW. Search for limewire & see what turns up. There may be another version around somewhere that's the causing problems.

I uninstalled LW and looked in add/remove for others, but there were none. I did the search as you suggested and these files came up:
recycle bin\Limewire 4.12.6 (shortcut)
C:\Program Files\LimeWire (folder)
C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire 4.2.6 (folder)
C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.jar (TMP file)
C:\Windows\Preftech\LIMEWIRE.EXE-1944953E.pf
C:\Windows\Preftech\LIMEWIREWIN-FULL.EXE-2F5F73A6.pf
C:\Windows\Preftech\LIMEWIREWIN.EXE-2673478F.pf
C:\Windows\Preftech\LIMEWIREWININSTALLER 1.EXE-000F94D8.pf
C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire 4.2.6\limewire.props
C:\Windows\Downloaded Installations\{303F45CA-471F-4585-BE59-8BCC13C79540}\LimeWire

What should I do with them?

Did you use the add/remove control panel to remove LW? If yes, that's not the way to uninstall LW & will cause problems.

Delete all those above files. (if it won't allow you to delete them all, run this program http://www.ccleaner.com/ to clean the registry.)

Then the LW zip version should be fine to run (crossing fingers!)
