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. 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. |

 need help for an oldie girl Hello I am new to computers and also new to posting messages. I am having trouble with limewire and wonder if anyone can help me. I have had limewire installed and working on computer which is windows xp. (my grandson loaded it on). Then I did a stupid thing of doing a restore on my computer and limewire went. I down loaded again and go it to desktop (shortcut) but when I double click to open it it won't do anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled about 10 times and made sure I cleared everything but still the same. I have read the posts but don't understand any of it. One post said to go into limewire tools but the program won't open for me to do this. I have java and gnutella on computer. Hopefully someone will take time to help in normal lanauage for me. would I have lost all of grandsons songs. (don't think he will be happy when he gets home from holidays) Thanking anyone in advanced.  |

| Hey...another sandgroper  Start off by following LOTR's advice in his first post here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ight=wont+open That is, delete your preferences folder first (remember, it's probably in a hidden folder so you'll have to show all hidden files & folders to see it).Then uninstall your Java & reinstall using the offline installer. All the info's there, just follow the links & take your time  See if that helps. Otherwise, there are more steps you can take within that thread. |

| The songs will still be there. You just need to find where. Use the computer search function to look for Shared. Go to Start menu -> Search for files & folders & type in Shared or incomplete. Then click on the result & you'll find the downld folder. *** Make a note of the location just in case. *** Try reinstalling Java using the "Offline" installer. This is the one where you downld the installer to your computer instead of installing over the internet. Then install Java. Get it here Java 1.5 (take the JRE) Now try to open LimeWire (LW). If it doesn't open, then delete the LW preferences. See the instructions here as there's a sample image at the bottom of the page of how to do it; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.) Then try to re-open LW. It should open now. But you'll have to ensure the download location is the same as before. Go to the LW Library window & look in Shared. If there's files listed then that's fine. If not, go to LW's menu bar & find the menu called Tools, then look at the saving option. Change it to the location you found when you found the location in the 1st step above. Wow I must be a slow typer. Where did birdy come from? lol Hey birdy maybe you can make a house visit. lol |

| half way there but still trying thank you for the information that i received. I download java again in offline mode and reinstalled. imagine my heart rate when limeline started to load. got it open and then it disappeared. tried again then it disappeared again. I did the lw preference folder thing but still just loads up, excites me, then disappears. (shouldn't do that to the oldies, we could have heart failure). What am I doing wrong. Silly thing as it use to work really well. If i updated to pro would I still get this problem. One other thing that I didn't understand was when it was asking what connection, modem, cable t1 or t3 and higher i went moden. I am on broadband adsl. did i pick the right one. Oh dear I think this oldie should stick to knitting. |

Probably cable/dsl. You can change these settings at any time, just make sure to 'apply' after changes. Getting Pro won't help with these set up problems, sorry. |

 thank you for your suggestion. I reloaded lw but still having the same problem of the program won't stay open. when it does after about 8 attempts to open it it works perfect. Would there be a conflict with another program after I did a restore. |

| Ad-Aware shouldn't be a problem. I don't use the MS antispyware so I'm not sure. If there's a way you can add LimeWire to a list of exceptions (things that you want the antispyware to ignore), I'd try that. Someone else might have more ideas? |

| AOL Anti-Spyware Ratahi & Birdy At a guess, AOL's anti-spyware will auto delete LW's exe file and so cause the problem (loading and vanishing) that Ratahi's is experiencing. The answer is to disable AOL's anti-spyware offering. Hope this helps. UK Bob |
