Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 Thanks once again L O R! Yes it probably has just been 30 days or so but the LPE connection fix isn't doing it this time. I am running Windows 7, I made sure Java and LPE was running as admin. Also the normal usuals on the list. I now need to do the LW preferences folder trick if I can figure that out. |

| Even with the LPE connection fix you need to obtain a fresh one if you previously downloaded one more than 30 days ago. Otherwise the connection file it will install will be over 30 days old and same scenario. I know how to fix this on Mac OSX but not windows. File_Girl71 provided a small file that should help protect the connection file if LW5 has not been used in 30 or more days. LimeWire-FiX2.zip |

| Not for me, it's around 53 KB and has LimeWire-FiX.exe inside which is about 70 KB after unzipping. I just downloaded and checked. Oh I just realised, because i zipped it on my mac you will get a MACOSX folder inside. Ignore that folder. The LimeWire-FiX.exe file will be beside it after unzipping. I don't see the OSX folder on my Mac, only if I unzip it on Windows. It's just easier for me to zip on my mac. Easy and quick, as the zipper is built into the system. What LimeWire-FiX will do is help prevent LW deleting your connection file if LW has not been used for 30+ days. |

| Try this one, it was zipped on Windows 7 and not XP or Mac. I noticed the properties of the previous copy suggested it was a rar file despite being a zip. So much for freeware compressor packages. Sorry for the inconveniences. I'll replace the first copy also. |

Might be an idea to uninstall LW and try re-installing. Also set Java to 'Run as Administrator' if using either Vista or Windows 7 (or later.) You can achieve that by finding the Java.exe file and right-clicking and choosing the option. Otherwise reinstall the Java with the Java installer set to 'Run as Administrator'. You can also set LW to 'Run as Administrator'. This was usually recommended for Vista, so might be helpful for Windows 7 (or later) also. One way was to set the LW installer to 'Run as Admin.' If same problem, try changing LW's compatibility mode by right-clicking the LW shortcut and choosing Properties. Perhaps change to XP or something similar. Depends on which Windows you are using. |
