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. |

 New Computer wont install LimeWire Hello, I just bought a brand new desktop tower because my previous one died. Its an Acer with Vista software. I have been trying to download Limewire for 4 days straight now and it wont let me. Each time I get to the installation point, it says "Unpacking Files" and wont go any further. I even let it do it overnight thinking maybe it takes forever, but it still didnt progress any further than it was when i went to bed. I have tried uninstalling/installing a total of about 15 times and I cant seem to get it to work, can anyone please help? This is sooooo frustrating Thank you, Amy  |

 Use this cleanup technique for both Java & LW: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html  This method also uses the Offline installers of both.  BTW if you are using Vista, you need to set the installer to run as admin, then do same for LW after installing. |

| For Vista you need to set both the installer, then LW to run as Admin. If that doesn't make any difference, go to properties & change compatibility mode to XP. Also delete any LW preferences if any. Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link) Correct way to uninstall LW is via Start menu -> All programs -> LW -> Uninstall. Else go to program folder & find uninstaller there. You tried those steps in my first post but couldn't get it to uninstall? What was the error message? How did you try to uninstall it? I'm wondering if it's because it was not set to run as Admin as it needs to be for Vista. |

| I guess i dont know how to set the installer & LW as admin - it doesnt ask?! I appologize I do not know much about computers. Right now my internet wont even work at home so I am unable to try and download LW. I couldnt get it to uninstall because it wasnt listed in my control pannel under the list of things downloaded. When i went into the actual LW folder, there wasnt and uninstall listed there either. I attempted to just delete everything but it wouldnt let me. As of the look of things now, I most likely will be returning the computer and buying a new Mac laptop. Ive never had ANY trouble setting up a new computer/downloading LW & various other things. Do a lot of people run into this with Vista?!? |

| The link I gave you above gave an example of how to set to run as admin. in steps 5 & 6 in the first post. For Vista changing compatibility mode would offer you to run it as XP. Below are the only two ways you should uninstall LW:  . |

| Pre-bought Spyware Well People As one that checked his PC's HD many moons ago, when I just bought it, I can confirm that most PCs bought from the likes of PC World (I don't know the US equivalent) have spyware pre-installed. However, because this junk is pre-installed Ad-Aware and Spybot cannot remove them, they see this rubbish as installed apps. The only way to clear this rubbish out is via manual deletion by visual inspection. Slow and cumbersome but the only effective way. The first thing to do is look out for for unknown "exe" files that are not in your windows folder, then for each one you find google it to find out what it exactly does. If it has no legitimate purpose then delete it. The next thing to watch out for is "send mail" files, you will be surprised at the number of these files scattered throughout your C:\ drive. And finally, if you have a good firewall then use it to watch for applications requesting access to the Internet. Again, you will be surprised at the most unlikely of apps trying to sneak out while your doing other things, e.g. I caught Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) trying to access the Internet. If I had left my firewall in the default option I would not have known anything about it. Be smart, be safe. UK Bob Last edited by ukbobboy01; July 19th, 2009 at 11:58 PM.
