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.

Can you supply all your details incl. LW version as requested here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29
It's like ringing the vet to ask for advice on your pet but not saying whether it's a cat, dog, fish, snail, boogy monster or what.

Question My apologies!

Sorry I didnt give you all the details as I have said before I am new to this and sometimes dont realise when I dont post right!
Any way here are the details I should have put:
1 Limewire 4.07.....p2p client
2windows98se
3pentium2 ....486ram.....10gb h/drive
4 6ft tall,3.5ft in my wheel chair hehehehehehe sorry I had to start being myself and have a laugh!
5 When I am using Limewire I am quite happily downloading and uploading and it just freezes, I cant get anything to happen and hit, ctrl,alt, del .....all this does is leave me with a black screen so I end up having to switch off and reboot.
That is all that happens.
Please note my son is just about to upgrade my chip and mother board and also he is putting in a 40gb h/drive as well.

I am really grateful for any help you can come up with Lord of the Rings.

Regards
Pirate

My 1st thought is it sounds like a java issue. Check to see you have the most recent version of Java. If that doesn't solve the issue, uninstall LW & reinstall. See how you go. We want to keep the ship afloat.

RUNNING WINDOWS XP SER.PACK 2.THE 4.6 VERSION RAN FINE AND THE NEW VERSION IS THE WORST. It freezes everytime I use it. Yes I have the latest Java.I read post after post on same problem, freezing. There no way everyone who has freezing problems need to download new version of Java for fix . Limewire has a problem with there new software version.

memory 1 gig ddr
CPU 3.4 pentium 4 Hyper thread
Why would previous version run with know problems?

Yes I have removed and re-installed several times .

Did you consider thawing LW out ... defrosting it so it doesn't keep freezing. lol

Hyper thread rings a bell to me ... over doing the cpu. Potentially an issue in itself.

Did you try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Also, did you update your graphics card drivers recently?

Do you use the Resume button on all your downlds? If yes, try to refrain from doing so & the problem won't happen.

Geez this is an old Post.

But anyhow --- I will try and explain this the best I can. There have been several ways to fix this besides java. Some have rolled back display drivers to previous version or updated them.

Some have updated the drivers on there chipsets.

Some have done routine maint. ie. defrag, disk cleanup, virus scans. etc.

Some have removed and re-installed LimeWire and Java. Some have either upgraded java or used a previous version.

Some have even had to remove and re-install there operating system.

Windows seems to be a more complex operating system when trying to figure things out. It has basicly automated most functions, which the average user seem to like.

I have been running LimeWire since version 4.2.6. Have made every upgrade, and haven't had but a few problems, which were easily fixed.

I have when I was a new user especially, but as recent as a week ago, have d/l some nasty things by them being mislabeled. That is why I have all the security features I do. Call it being paranoid or whatever. I err on the side of caution.

Other than doing routine maint. I have not had a problem with LimeWire running it in English language or in Japanese Language.

I have created problems with LW, when trying to duplicate problems that other users have had, so I might be able to assist in fixing the problem. The only time I have got this machine to freeze was when I was experimenting with java and memory usage. I lowered my VM for java to much.

See it can be a wide variety of issues when dealing with a windows operating system. There is just no quick fix for this freezing problem. If the developers can't duplicate it, how can they fix it.

Just as in my case I have not had this problem, except when I intentionaly caused it.

Hope this explained the complexity of this problem.

It"s quiet simple if I"m using the older version and know problems till upgrade to new version. A P2P sharing program like Kazaa and many others you just download and open, done deal,Maybe I should remove or tweak the mother board.Get real!
I
I will also enlighten you that audio searches with limewire ,old or new versions are poor. I will stick to Kazaa lite. Open and search its that easy.Thank you for the reply and list of all the tweaks needed to use Limewire.
