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.

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. |

 Hey you guys I hope I'm not repeating any questions but I am honestly confused and unable to find answers! I am not very computer savvy either...But I'm learning! Okay here goes: I have Windows XP and dial up internet connection. My dell desktop is a dimension 4600. I'm not sure how much space is free though. Recently I took some advice that I found elsewhere in the forum.. But here goes. My mum downloaded LM 4.12.6 I think? Yeah..And it works fine..As long as you are on my brother's desktop and my Mum's AOL screenname. But how can I get LM on the other desktops? I tried going into the search in the start menu...But every LM I've opened through that has been empty. And I've had to set everything like new. I have some songs downloaded already...How can I get the same LM on each desktop? And also...I am having a he**-of-a-time trying to get into the firewall settings of MY aol sn!! I got the okay and I know my mum's password..But when I go into security I get this site called Discover AOL saying I need to download AOL security! Is it possible to use LM on other sn's?I am so confused... These computers are uber confusing...O.o  |

| Datul Hi. Sorry let me expand on what Ive said, I understood that you wanted to use 4.0.7 as your everyday app, this would be very hard to keep going, because of the buildup of vulnerabilities & exploits that spammers have found in older versions of java & L/W. But if you don't mind having to keep reinstalling then I believe it is possible. What java version was you using when it worked fine ? Try going back to JRE 1.5.0.09, PM me if you cant get that installer & I will get it to you. JRE 1.5.0.11 would be better,(Less Vulnerable) but not sure it will work, try it!! Just remember to do a search & delete all other version of java & L/W files before installing again. After you D/L java, put a copy of it,along with L/W installer in a zip folder for safe storage.(Don't delete that in search) LOL. Let us know how you get on Atul G Vaish, is that same as in "Vaishnava" Peace.

| Hey everyone. i just had to share my good news. i have been one this thread site trying everthing that people were suggesting. it seemed like nothing was helping. I originally had McAfee anti virus. i unistalled all of it because i purchased Norton Internet Security 2007 which is compatable with windows XP and Vista. It still wasn't working once i installed norton. I then thought since i've been doing so many things to try and fix limewire, i'm just going to restore the default settings back to limewire. Well, now it's been working great all day with a turbo-charged connection. Here's what you have to do to restore default settings. hope it works for as many of you as it can. 1. click on the tab tools and open up the options menu. 2.down towards the bottom of that menu there is a button that says "Restore Default". go ahead and click on that and follow and promts. It may ask "are you sure" or what ever. 3. then completely close out limewire and make sure it isn't still running in the bottom right hand corner of your desktop. if you're not sure if it's still running or not you can restart your computer which will for sure close it down. 4. then reopen limewire and it will promt you to set up your settings again. once i completed step 4 it located all my music and opened up and went right to turbocharged connection and has been there all day. |

| You're my kind of person Birdy... HeHe, thanx alot! Can't believe all it was, was that older ".limewire" folder that you said to delete. Then after deletion, ofcourse like you said, I checked my "Application Data folder" to see the "LimeWire folder" that was suppose to be there THERE! I mean after reading  and reading countless threads on the matter, and carefully choosing which action to take. Easy enough all it really took was deleting that folder. I'm much thankful, grateful... YOU NAME IT I am that. Thanks for all your assistance in my download angst, I bow to your apparent superior LW knowledge  . You're AWESOME, so go ahead & pat yourself on the back there Birdy. Seriously, standing ovation for you there  . You deserve it, you've yet helped another poor "I Can't Get My Limewire To Work" soul. Now I'm off to maraude the highspeed downloading pleasures of my LW  . I'm obviously having too much fun with these smileys too, hehe THANKS AGAIN  It's that easy people... well in some cases  . locate & delete .limewire folder found here.... Windows: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire |
