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.

Default AppCrash with Vista 32-bit

Well, I've done my research and looked around for every single solution there is in order for Limewire to work with Vista...
I've tried:
1) Change compatibility mode to Windows XP Service pack 2
2) Reset Limewire by deleting it in Roaming
3) Running it as administrator
4) Allowing it on firewall
5) Not having McAfee installed
6) Uninstalling and reinstalling it
7) Using several versions of Limewire (Frostwire, Beta)

The attempts I've made won't fix one problem that I only receive, which is an error known as an: "AppCrash". This happens right when I think I'm about to use Limewire when it opens the "Upgrade to Pro" window, then all of a sudden, it crashes saying, "LimeWire has stopped working."

Here are the crash details:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: LimeWire.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.2
Application Timestamp: 468e951c
Fault Module Name: StackHash_7f63
Fault Module Version: 6.0.6000.16386
Fault Module Timestamp: 4549bdc9
Exception Code: c0000374
Exception Offset: 000af1c9
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: 7f63
Additional Information 2: 12f378feed09cfa07380e3ad2e6d8987
Additional Information 3: e982
Additional Information 4: c8fd002cffd95e7af9728ad0bd314e63



It would be greatly appreciated if I can receive any help.. I wrote this after working an 8 hour shift, and its midnight. I'm sorry if I was confusing at all.

Thank you.

It Might be a Java issue.

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & Remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java.

Ah, I almost forgot to put that up too.

I did in fact install the latest java software. Meh, still doesn't hit the magic button to make it work.

Do you have a different user account on your computer? If yes, try running LW from there. If no, set up a temporary test account & run LW. See if you have same problems.
It may be a software clash.
Do you have the utility Alcohol on your system? I believe this can cause problems.

Did you remove all java versions before re-installing the latest?

As far as compatibility mode goes, are there any others available you can try?

Not that it should make any difference, you could perhaps uninstall LW using the Start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall, then use this version Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!.

1) I tried using it on a different user account. Still doesn't work.
2) Yes, I do have Alcohol 120%. That might be it? Not sure.
3) Prior to my download of Limewire, I never had a version of Java software on my new operating system of Vista. So this shouldn't have been a problem.
4) I tried all the compatibility modes. None of them help.
5) I'll try using the "other" version. Hm.. I'll get back to you on that one.

By the way, thanks LOTR.

Ah, snap, the "Other" version still doesn't work. It won't start-up at all because it's not meant for Windows.

Yes, Alcohol has been causing problems for some other windows users. The person who discovered the problem said they renamed their alcohol library file or prefs file, can't remember which. Perhaps search the world alcohol on the forum to find the appropriate thread & specific file mentioned.

The Other version will run on Windows .... just not sure about Vista or 64 bit systems.

Well, I tried renaming the Alcohol Driver and that doesn't work.
Maybe uninstalling it will help?
