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. |

 go into the Kaspersky settings and set it so it prompts for action as opposed to automatically blocking stuff..that way you can have manual control over what is going on and also be able to see what programs and such are doing what activities....

| Which OS version are you using? Right-click the zip file & see what options there are. There should be an option to Extract all or Open with Compressed (zipped) folders. Extract all is likely the best option if available. |

 "help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope"!  Hi, I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me.I have had Limewire for several years. Originally I had it on a desktop and 2 years ago I transferred it to my current computer. I don't use very often, maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I have had no problems with it. The last time I used it was maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago. Three daysago I tried to open it and nothing happened. I went through all the usual to try and solve the problem, but to no avail. Since I hadn't upgraded in a while, I went to the website and bought a newer version. As I said, I don't use it all that often, so I bought the $13.95 version. I followed all the instructions to download and install. I clicked on the desktop icon, a pause, and a window with this message: "limewire has encountered a problem and needs to close. We apologize for any inconvenience" (not a particularly unsusual message in Windows) Again, I did all the usual when I've encountered this before. Same message. I went to Limewire for help, and because I bought the cheapie, no tech support...not even for installation! I went through all the FAQ suggestions. Same message every time. So I came to this forum. I have spent many hours over the last 3 days trying each and every suggestion that there is posted here to resolve this. I have tried them all several times. And every time I get the same "problem encountered" message. I will say that as of now, a limewire window actually does pop up, sits there for about a minute and then gives me that favorite message. So, before I go to Limewire and ask for my money back, I thought I would make one final plea for any other suggestions there might be. Thanks for whatever help you may have. my system details you asked to provide: Computer- 2yr. old Gateway Laptop Model MT6707 1- my OS; Windows XP sp3 2- Firewalls; Windows(disabled) 3- I have 2G of RAM 4- Hard Disk Space Avail.-67GB 5- connection type- broadband/wireless 6- modem/router: Actiontec M1424WR 7- connect. loc.-house 8- limewire ver. 5.2.8 (at this moment) 9- ISP- Verizon 10-Requested test result- "test worked" 11-2 computers connected to the modem/router; this laptop(wireless) & desktop (hard wired) 12- I had Limewire for several yrs., this is a new problem 13- visible "bricks", icons, etc.- I cannot see anything because I can't open anything 14- I believe my setup is UPnP 15- My virus/spyware connection is Webroot. (I believe I've disabled anything they have like a firewall.) 16- I live in US 17- up to the point I tried to access my old limewire program 3 or 4 days ago, nothing new in hardware or software had changed. |

| Do you still have the installer? Keep it .. do not trash it! Follow these directions but instead, use your own Pro installer you downloaded: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html  Also delete your old preferences folder before you install ... most likely step 3 Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link) though possibly step 2 if step 3 does not apply to you.  BTW always good to see experienced users around the forums, no matter how often you use the program. |

| At this point I'm working very hard to keep track of which fix is which (kinda like "who's on first...") The limewire folder in my applications has nothing in it. It has always been empty each time I've tried the delete in the various versions I tried. Installers I have on file are Limewire 5.2.8.0 & 4.18.8.1; and Java 5.0.110.3 & 6.0.140.8. If you'd be so kind as to repeat for me a "step1, step 2, etc." so I can sort out exactly what I need to try. Thanks! |

| The latest java is usually best, however on some peoples systems one particular version works much better than some others. You need Java 1.6 (6) for LW 5 to run however! Java 1.4-5 is fine for LW 4. Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloadsDid you tick the box to leave a shortcut to LW on desktop? Install the latest version ... especially IF you are using vista .. right-click the installer & choose Run as then choose Administrator .. then install LW .. then repeat process for the LW shortcut on desktop. |

| Thought I'd give you an update on my recent limewire experience I like to call; "I don't know what will work, but that's not it!" Once again, I tried all the suggestions, and once again I recieved the increasingly annoying message: "limewire has encountered a problem and must close. We are sorry for any inconvenience". Out of frustration, I went up to the old, slow desktop and tried to install. I figured, what the heck? Guess what? It installed so slick and quick there was never as much as a momentary blip! Besides the fact it's about 8 yrs old and only has 750MB of ram, what's the difference? (This is the computer I installed my original version of Limewire to.) Mainly, very few programs. My husband uses it and all he does is Internet searching, Email, Word, and Quicken, although Office 2007 is installed. It has Norton anti-virus (which he hasn't renewed this year, so it isn't up to date on definitions!) and Spybot. Neither interferred with installation. Now, I don't get frustrated and defeated. I get mad and determined! BACK TO THE LAPTOP!!! What have I missed? What haven't I tried? I revisit my virus/malware/spyware. I have disabled/enabled virtually everything at some point. Okay, there is this one selection I never use. It is "Gaming Mode", choices: on & off. I don't play games, but what the heck, I've done everything else! I turn Gaming Mode on. Here we go... re-install java; re-install Limeware. IT WORKED!!!!    Apparently in gaming mode Webroot disables certain shields etc. that can interfere with games on some computers. It also requires you to enter a time to turn it off or it will automatically turn it on in 4 hours. The great thing is I only had to use it to install. I don't have to turn it on every time I use it. Hopefully this experience will be useful for anyone else who has this particular virus program. On one hand I'm thrilled! On the other hand, I feel really stupid for not figuring this out 4 days and countless hours earlier!  Also, looking back on all the various fixes and suggestions offered, it's like playing twister with yourself and reaching the point where you don't know where your left foot is and forgetting the secret key to turn your a** on! I can only imagine what it's like for the technology challenged... ("what's a control panel?", etc). And finally..... No program no matter how much or how little you pay for it should be this convoluted and difficult to install!!!  |

Each person's system is a little different. Some people can have a network of identical computers with identical software yet one will be trouble-some for some odd reason. I guess Java is the issue usually. Not uncommon for problems due to installing Java using the online installer version ... same can apply for LW also. Also sometimes unclean registry can hamper installations .. with elements of old versions or old programs that interfere with others for some reason. Or some other reason blocking the online installation.But glad it's all sorted ... and thank you for letting us know how you fixed it. |

| I'm using windows XP. and I didn't see options like that. I must have done something wrong. I know that the first step was to view my list of downloads and click open on the limewire download. then it asked for a specific place to open it to, I told it where to go, and it put a bunch of files there. I tried to tell the computer to extract files, which it sort of did, but when I opened the new file it was comprised of lots of little files, none of which did anything. |
