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.

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. |

 I downloaded the wireless network Identification tool. Here's an update. It says cannot detect wireless network. LAN harware not connected. I don't get it... I don't use LAN. I use SBC DSL-modem. But back to my question, how can you tell if you have the 2200BG installed on your comp? But if what I'v just did means I don't have the 2200BG, then I'm completely clueless on what's causing the BSOD. And also, whats a network adapter? I have one-Realtek Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC  |

| Hitman40 The lord sent me a copy of the PM you sent him did you have the geek squad overclock your computer. And by the way a LAN is the connection setting your computer uses to get to your network. And unless you are on a network it wouldnt be present.

| If I were you I would make them figure out what is wrong and fix it. If I worked on someones computer and returned it to them and told them it was good to go. It should be good to go. LimeWire will not cause a BSoD if their isn't a problem somewhere else. You can take any computer out of the box and install LimeWire on it and it will run without crashing or getting the BSoD. You paid them good money to upgrade and they gave you back a computer that will not do what any normal computer will do. It is broke and they should fix it.

| That's true. But they gave me some BS like my spysweeper is blocking Limewire and my computer is corrupt now or something like that. They said they can't work with Limewire for some reason (I think its because as soon as they connect, they share files). So the GS can't fix the problem if they don't experience it thought. I'm sure it's a hardware problem. But thanks again for all the help. |

| The don't have to connect to the Internet to fix your problem. All they have to do is turn your computer on and start LimeWire. The reason they can not work with LimeWire is because it shows there is a problem and they need to fix it. If you remove LimeWire then there is no problem so they don't have to fix it. They are using LimeWire as an excuse so the do not have to fix what they messed up. If it were me I would tell them that I believe the last number was 1.5 million computers are currently running LimeWire and they are not getting the BSoD.

| Blue Screen of Death Hitman40 I entirely agree with Grandpa, your geeks cannot fix the problem because they have no idea what it is. Back in the dim and distant past, when I used to work on PCs and faced with a similar problem, I would go through a trial and error process to find out what the problem was and then come up with a solution, not fob the user off with techno-babble. Anyway, I have also had the dreaded BSOD, in the recent past, when using LW and that tended to be an incompatibility between the video driver and LW. I cured the problem by downloading and installing the latest drivers for my video card. In order to do this you have to find out what video card or onboard video set-up your PC is using then go to the video manufacturer’s web site and download the latest drivers for your PC. Hope this helps. UK Bob |

| I've scrammbled across something that I'm curious about. I went to Control Panel, and there I see "Wireless Network Setup Wizard." I'm not sure what it is, but do you guys recommend me initiating it for it to work with limewire? |

| From memory it's for setting up UPnP on your wireless device. For more on UPnP see the UPnP section here about 1/4 down the page Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link) |
