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. |

 LimeWire won't open It has been a week or 2 since I used LimeWire and it has been working fine. But I tried to open it today and it won't do it. I click on the icon and it isn't opening. Every morning when I start my computer, I do get a message saying that something bridge.dll can't be found, but the rest of my computer works no problem. I can get email, I can go on internet, etc. Does anyone have any ideas, what is happening? Hope you can help me. CARINA  |

 I guess no one knows. Oh well. Guess I won't be able to download for now then. Hopefully it will fix it self. Another question: If I would delete LimeWire of my computer would all my downloaded music go lost too? Or can I move them to another folder and they will then stay? CARINA |

| Go to the Start menu, Programs>LW>Uninstall. No your downld folder won't be affected. Then re-downld the installer (choose the offline installer) & try installing again. It sounds to me like your registry needs a clean but I'm not a windows expert. Oh & please read the forum rules which are posted at the top of every section of the forum. Too many new members are not reading them; Forum Rules (click here) These are the Limewire sections: Limewire Forum sections Post in the wrong place & nobody will answer your thread. |

| Thanks for that. I just did that, but it still won't work. So, no clue how to fix that RUNDLL thing, I guess it has to do with that then. Also thanks for the clearance of where to post things. It really isn't very clear what to post where. CARINA |

| Not sure if this is the right place, can someone help? I already posted this in a different area, as I couldn't figure out where to put my problem, and I was told it wasn't. So, hope the place is right here. It has been a week or 2 since I used LimeWire and it has been working fine. But I tried to open it a few days ago and it won't do it. I click on the icon and it isn't opening. Every morning when I start my computer, I do get a message saying that something bridge.dll can't be found, but the rest of my computer works no problem. I can get email, I can go on internet, etc. Does anyone have any ideas, what is happening? I have already uninstalled Limewire and installed it back again, but that didn't do the trick either. It just must have something to do with that RUNDLL module, but I don't know how to fix that. Hope someone can help me. CARINA |

| The only references of dll i can find on the forum either refer to viruses or drivers. lol  I did find this one: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=DLLI wonder if you should try the 'Other' version. If you go to the LW downld page, you'll see at the bottom an option for 'Other' & after downlding all you do is unzip it & use it. (an old sample image sorry!) (BTW try to keep all your posts about one topic in the one thread. I moved your threads & merged them. Also use the user cpm button above & press the f.a.q. button to learn how to use the different functions on the forum.)   Last edited by Lord of the Rings; September 9th, 2005 at 05:59 AM. |

| Hi DanielleCarina What version of windows are you using and service pack? The bridge as you called it I believe is a part of your network connection. Or it is in windowsXP. It is how your network adapter card and ethernet/modem card communicate with each other and the internet connection without confusing each other and other users on the network. If you are using windowsXP you can go to start>my computer>my network places>view network connections. You can highlight the network connection, and on the left side of the screen you can click repair this connection. This may or may not help in this instance. NOTE: you may see more than one network connection in that window including the bridge. You need to repair the connection which actually connects you to the internet. The help and support center in windowsXP has more information on this and how to setup your network and connections. start>help and support center Also did you just recently install the windows updates on your machine? |

| Thanks Lord of the Rings. And FAbion, I did try what you suggested about the repair connection, I did that and it still won't open. I don't think there was anything wrong with that, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go online at all. I deleted a programme last week, something Java and I think with that it must have taken that bridge something out. I will have a look if I can find something in the XP Support though. CARINA |

| Did you reinstall Java. Sometimes people have problems with one particular version on their setup be that 1.5 or 1.4.2 & swapping over to the other can sometimes fix problems with LW. See Fixes for Limewire for tips. |

| If you removed java from your system LimeWire won't work. LimeWire requires java to operate. LOTR has put a link that has the java links. In windowsXP start>control panel>add or remove programs --- see if you have a program called J2SE Runtime Enviroment 5.0 Update 4 or something similar. If that is missing you do not have java installed, and need to install it for LW to work/run. It is also possible that the java for some unknown reason may have been corrupted. You can remove from the add or remove programs, and try a fresh installtion. Just follow the instructions in the link LOTR left in his post. I suggest d/l the offline installation version, if you need to reinstall it. |
