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.

Unhappy I'm lost.

Okay, I still have a problem.

The first time I was trying to uninstall LimeWire, was because it would never open. I'd double-click it, and nothing would pop up.
I went to search, like you told me to,because it wouldn't let me uninstall LW, and there are a couple of files That I'm not able to delete. A window just pops up, saying that the program is being used by some other person or program.
When I thought I got rid of everything, I went to download limewire, but a couple days later, same problem appears. It doesn't open. This time I was able to uninstall it. But when I went to search, it still finds results when I type in LimeWire. And the same files can't be deleted, and a window pops up, saying that's it's being used by another person or program. I'm lost.
I just want to get rid of LimeWire and not downloaded again. I'm quite tired of having problems with it.

Alexy Hi.
It sounds like you still have L/W running in tray, when you try to uninstall.
Check task manager to see if its running, if so, end L/W process then try.
You have not said, Have you tried Reboot in safe mode to Delete ?

Where did you uninstall L/W from. ?
So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions.
Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs.

What are the names of the files you cannot delete ?

Are there other accounts on your computer using L/W ?

Who is your ISP ?

Do you have L/W set to run when windows starts ?

Peace.

I checked on Task Manager, but I didn't find anything.
So, I went to My Computer, Program Files. I tried deleting the LW folder, but it didn't let me. I tried a different way. I opened the LW folder, and one,by one, I deleted all of it's content. I was able to delete everything, and then I just deleted the empty LW Folder. I went to My Recycle bin, and emptied it out.
Just to make sure, I went to Search, and typed in limewire. It didn't find anything. I restarted my computer, and searched again, and still, it finds nothing.
Does that mean I got rid of it?

You Say!!
"Just to make sure, I went to Search, and typed in limewire. It didn't find anything. I restarted my computer, and searched again, and still, it finds nothing.

There will still be BITS left if you haven't uninstalled correctly.

Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/
& make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked)
Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search.
Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything)
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.
That should clear it.
Peace.

Alexy Hi

"Sorry, this might sound really stupid, but how do you re-boot?"
No Alexy It just means your very new to this computer stuff.

To Re Boot in Safe Mode.

Right click on task bar,choose Task Manager,Shut down/Restart
If Task Manager does not start up, Hold down Alt & Ctrl & press Delete on your Keyboard.
Your computer will now Reboot!! AS it starts to fire up again,Hold down F8,on your Keyboard.
You should hear some little clicking, then the screen should go black with white lettering.
Use the Arrow keys, (Up) to highlight "Safe Mode"(mouse will not work).
Press Enter then Enter,Windows Login screen should come up, Click on your user name.
A warning box comes up, You are entering safe mode, Click YES.
You are now in safe mode.
Go, Start/Search
Peace.
