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.

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. |

 If I update can I put new version on top of old I can't seem to get my version of Limewire to connect beyond 1 green bar. Yesterday I installed the latest service pack for windows but I don't know if that would have anything to do with it. I thought maybe updating to the latest version might do the trick but I want to know if I can just copy the new version over the top of my current version which is 4.16.7. My Firewall which is part of my Norton internet security doesn't seen to be the problem; so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas as to why it suddenly refuses to connect beyong 1 green bar.  |

| Do you mean can you install the update without removing your existing LW? Then yes - your existing version gets removed automatically as part of the installation process. But just remember that if your existing version's Pro then you'll lose that version unless you have the Pro installer saved. Are you running XP or Vista? I have XP & installing SP3 made no difference to any p2p apps' connection. I guess you've tried all the fixes here: If LW 4 Will Not Connect Which version are you updating to? Some people have had issues with LW 5 - it's quite different to LW 4. Make sure to read the LimeWire FAQ and User Guide There's a Beta version out, if you don't mind using a Beta, which seems to be quite good so far... some tools that were missing from 5.1 are slowly returning: LimeWire 5.2.2 (Beta) - Lime Wire Check out the changelog to see exactly what's what: Changelog - LimeWire |

| You might need to remove & then re-add LW to your Norton firewall. Norton can be a bit funny that way sometimes. If you install a new version of LW you will definitely need to remove & re-add LW to the firewall. |

| Hey Robert, long time no see. Hows you man?? We didn't see any difficulty going to SP3 way back when, but seems that every time MS comes out with an update, it mucks up my son LW 4.18.x. NIS2009 definitely Wasn't the issue but all of a sudden showed we had a firewall issue. I just deleted the Prefs. folder and fetched a new Gnutella.net file and was good to go. Me thinks MS's Malicious Software Removal Tool has something to do with it. But that's just me. Good Luck.

| I'm not sure what to do to be honest. All of a sudden I only have one green bar after connecting and I'm sorta wondering what the best options would be. Thanks for your interest Remoc. I'm OK and yes it has been quite a while since I was on these forums, glad you still remember me. Been lurking nearly every day but after my disastrous start at giving advice and a big rap over the knuckles from Peerless I thought it better to leave the advice giving to those with a bit more experience. Hi ,Back again. I tried most of the things in the section (if Limewire will not connect) and none of them seem to work. I've done the temporary switching off of my firewall and AV and tried to get a connection without success. And I've uninstalled Limewire twice (using the start menu) and re-installed it. I've made sure that only one firewall is working and it is set to auto which is what it was when Limewire was working, so I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment as to what to try next. I'm not sure whether updating to version 5 will help or not so I haven't tried it. Do you think I should update my Java Runtime environment (mine is still the basic Java 1.6.0 that came with Vista) would that help? (I've already downloaded the java 1.6.14 latest version JRE already and that's sitting in the download folder if you think that might help.) Any and all suggestions will be tried in the hope that I can get some connection to the network. Thanks! Last edited by RobertR; June 22nd, 2009 at 08:33 AM. |
