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.

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.

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.

 Questions on BSOD I started getting the BSOD lately. I dont get it when I turn on "Automatically Restart" under system failure in Computer Properties, but my computer just automatically restarts instead without the BSOD Basically, this error occurs whenever I try to Connect in Limewire. Java doesn't seem to be the problem. I've lately also gotten my computer reformated and upgraded. I have an Intel Celeron Processor, not sure what kind. And Im not a computer expert. I've read through many posts, and I've come to a couple of conclusions. But I have a couple of questions regarding them: I've read that one solution to this problem is to download Service Pack 2. Can anyone give me a direction link to it? How can I tell if I already have SP2 installed? -because SP2 might be causing the problem instead- I've also read that I have to download some new driver (2200BG), but isn't this causing the problem? I might come up with some more questions. But any help would be greately appreciated.  |

| You can download SP2 from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx If you already have it installed, your little windows progress bar (that you see when your Win is loading) will be blue. SP2 has caused quite a few connection probs (totally stuffed mine) for some people. Maybe you should use the search & look for info about it before you install it. You may need a patch for it if it does cause you trouble. I guess you've seen this thread (with it's heaps of links  about BSD)?http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=bsd  |

| You can see if you have Service Pack 2 by clicking on Start/My Computer on the left side of the screen click on view system information. The pop-up will tell you if you have service pack 2.

| Ok I have SP2. I have some more questions Now could the BSOD be caused by SP2? Or the 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset? Is there any way to uninstall SP2 and go back to SP1? Where is the link on Intel's website to the driver update version 9 for the 2200BG? Thanks |

| If the problem recently started it is not caused by service pack2 and it is not wise to revert to service pack1. There are numerous security issues and vulnerabilities in service pack1 which can not be stooped. If you choose to run service pack1 be very careful what you download and what web sites you visit. The most likely reason for the BSOD is either a conflict with any new software you have added, any new hardware, either of these would most likely be driver issues. Or you have a ram/cpu/hard drive/motherboard or some other component failing.Also a bad Windows install is notorious for causing the BSOD which is very likely since you state you recently reformatted and upgraded. Unfortunately these problems can be caused by allot of different things and can be very hard to figure out. Why did you reformat and upgrade to begin with. Did you use a original Windows Disk or a copy. Do you know if your motherboard supports your new CPU, Was the Bios flashed and updated when you upgraded. There are allot of things that need to be done and checked when you upgrade CPU's. Was the person that did the work a professional or just a friend or yourself that has maybe done a upgrade or two.

| I reformatted and upgraded because my computer was overloaded with so many things. Best Buy's "Geek Squad" reformatted my computer, and they installed windows. But chances are it could be the 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset. How can I find out if I have that installed on my computer? Limewire restarts my comp everytime I try to connect, but it doesn't restart if I just leave the limewire window opened while im disconnected. It could be somesort of connection malfunction, thus which might be related with the 2200BG Chipset. By the way, anyone happen to have the link to Intel's 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset driver update 9? But in the end, all I know is I just took it to the Geek Squad to have my comp reformatted and upgraded. |
