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.

Can you remember the last thing you downloaded before this started happening ??
I'd say there is a corruption in one of your files and it causes limewire to close...
you can check this by trying to access your shared folder outside of limewire...
By default go to My Comp > HDD > Documents and settings > User (your folder name) > Shared...
If it gives you the same message LW does it is definitely a corruption and you will need to work out which one it is and delete it...
If it doesn't post back and we will find another solution...

goodws1.
Try this player, Media Player Clasic, Has codecs built in, & no backdoor for
spammers to exploiet, WMP is a problem for P2P users unless you can set your
firewall to never alow WMP to connect to the internet
http://www.mpcstar.com/?lang=en_us
May also be fake files you are trying to D/L

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is, Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be
The record companys are putting swarms of fakes on
the network, Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bitrate must be less than two mins.THINK!!, how long is the song Im looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File befor OPENING them
Dont D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I dont touch them they are 99.9% viruses. We only use these for testing antivirus
programs.
Peace.

Question help me i dont know how to do what you told me to do?

sory i went to my comp hard disk drives doc and setts. user name9my folder0 shared and then under music what do you mean if it gives me the same message as limewire it is a possible corruption? this just takes me to the list of all my songs do you mean to play each song and see if the message pops up? this will take forever. is there an easier way to scan for corrupt files? maybe i just dont understand what you want me to do and am doing it wrong. please explain. there has to be a way to determine what file is corrupt you would think. if not how do i delete all songs video and movies and make sure it is deleted everywhere on my computer. and if i do this and still have same problem can i restore them back with norton restore? i hate to lose all my songs if thats not the problem. HELP PLEASE REPLY BACK AGAIN ROLLEYES-2:

No don't delete all of your files...I take it you successfully entered your shared folder without the error message popping up...

I would now think that there is a corruption within LW itself...
Try the fixes in this thread one by one...Make sure you use the offline installer for Java and LW....Uninstall Java first and reinstall....Then uninstall LW...If it still keeps popping up with the error report try deleting your preference folder...

All instructions and links are in this thread....
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

When you uninstalled limewire did you use the limewire uninstaller or did you do it through the add/remove programs ??

You could also try this fix....
Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.
