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.

Default Java issues

I am having issues with JAVA. When I start Limewire, my display seems to get a bit blurry in all my applications and my Windows Media Player will not play videos..I hear the sound but cannot see the video portion. I experienced this before using Sun JAVA, that is why I uninstalled it from my system, but Limewire requires JAVA to operate properly. Has anybody else expereinced this?

1. Why do you think its a JAVA problem?

2. The videos that don´t play did they play before? Perhaps its only a codec problem.

3. Did you scan your computer with a virus scan?

Please anwser all of my questions.

I had no problems before I installed JAVA..now I do..and I have ran into this issue before..that is why JAVA was not installed on my system.

2. The videos that don´t play did they play before? Perhaps its only a codec problem.

They play fine as long as I do not have Limewire running, which uses JAVA.

3. Did you scan your computer with a virus scan?

I scan my system regularly with SAV Corporate 8.0 with defs updated every day

Thanks,
R.M. Day, MCSA

Upgrade Java (it's not all capitalized, by the way) by going to java.com.

It does the same thing regardless of which version I use. I have tried the latest and greatest, ver 5.0, with the same results. I did notice, however, with the version that comes with Limewire I did not experience the problem, only after Limewire popped up a dialog box wanting me to upgrade to 1.4.2..strange huh!

Try upgrading DirectX. Also try grabbing http://limewire.org/temporary_forum/launch.properties that file and placing it in the same directory as "LimeWire.exe" -- it will tell Java to not use direct draw, which may be having some problems.

My DX is the current version, 9.0c. Do I place this file as a text file in the same directory as limewire.exe or do I amend/add it to another file that already exists in that directory? I put it in the same directory as limewire.exe as a text file and restarted Limewire but it did not solve the problem. Is there any way to disable Java's use of DirectDraw alltogether using the Java console or by changing a setting in the Java configuration? I ask this because if I use Java in IE as the VM I get the same problem when I go to sites that have Java applets...blurry screen and WMP freaks out big time. Currently I am using Microsoft for my VM and do not have that problem..unless I use Java for my VM.

The plugin for your browser doesn't matter to LimeWire, so you can disable the Sun plugin if you want. The problem may not be direct draw (and if you placed that file alongside LimeWire.exe and still saw the blurriness, then it likely isn't). I'd remove that file (since all it'll do now is slow down LimeWire), and search the web for other people that have blurriness or no video shown when using Java. We haven't ever heard these particular symptoms before, so I'm not sure where to go from here.

One thing I'd do is make sure your video card drivers are up to date by going to the manufacturer's website and updating them.

Thanks for the info sberlin. I am looking around the forums here and doing some searches elsewhere. I am running the current vid drivers for my NVidia based 5600XT card. I do have by browser configured not to use the Java plugin, but with certain apps that have to use Java, there isn't much I can do unless I find a workaround or a solution! I even tried reinstalling DX9.0c and that did not solve the problem. It is about time to re-OS my system as it has been a bit glitchy here lately, so that might solve the problem..I will post after I do that and let you know what the outcome is. Thanks again for the help and info..it has been very useful to me!

Okey dokey I have isolated the problem. It has something to do with my video card and using Direct X and Direct3D Hardware acceleration. I turned those two things off in the Display Properties Advanced Setting tab and I no longer have the problem. I run ExpertTool, which is an overclocking program for use with my specific vid card and sometimes run it a bit overclocked. Could that possible be causing the problems?
