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.

This is actually a problem with Java. There is one solution that might work for you. You can try running LimeWire with Java 1.3. Obviously this has the drawback that you can't use any of the new benefits of Java 1.4. Also I'm not certain whether this will actually work or not. Another option is to just forget about it. As far as I can tell, there are no other consequences of the bug other than the error message. I'll continue to investigate the problem and let you know if I find a better solution.

Let me know if this works out for you,

Avi

Same issue with the error message on a system with a "clean install" of Windows 98 Second Edition and running only the Limewire 2.5 program. However, you can close the "illegal operation" Javaw message provided no file downloads are in progress.
Sure I can just ignore the error message, but my customers don't like new computers that generate any error messages.

Frank, I had the same exact problem on a WinMe computer. It became a major pain in the *** and I uninstalled LW. I THINK that the version was 2.3 but I'm not sure. Anyway I reinstalled 2.4 and never had another problem with the Javaw error message.

I finally got Limewire to work. The problem for me seemed to be with Java. Sun had me download this beta version that is about to be released: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/

I removed the version that Limewire automatically downloaded and installed, and installed this version. Limewire now works as it should. (Finally!)

I think I'll try that too. I've been having Java related problems again and had to uninstall LW. Thanks for the link.

There are reports in the Java Bug database, that explian this problem. Most often this occurs with the support of DirectX, due to hardware video accelerators that don't implement correctly some off-screen redraw buffers. The problem is not directly within Java, but is due to the fact that some video drivers do not report correctly that they don't support some accelerated options.

If you experiment this problem, you may disable Direct3D in Java, or all DirectX. See the Java support forums for details of the setting...

In Windows, you may also try to upgrade DirectX and use the Microsoft certified drivers instead of the "accelerated" drivers that some manufacturer propose. Generally this solves the problem. If this does not work, reduce the acceleration options in the system control panel. This should disable the support of off-screen buffers by the hardware, and use a software emulation.

Some other options can cause problems in DirectX: for example, on Windows XP, the "ClearType" smoothed fonts renferer has some bugs, and it can draw on pixels that were not part of the buffer. This problem occurs with many old display drivers, which assume that a character cannot be drawn on a larger area than its "visible" width.

The impact is that, in some cases, the character may be drawn with some pixels out of the off-screen buffer. This problem is visible when you open a DOS window and display a string of "w" characters: you'll see that the right edge of the character is sometimes displayed correctly, sometimes it is truncated, depending on the operation you perform. This can also be visible when, sometimes, the text of a title bar is drawn on the wrong place on the screen, in case of heavy CPU load. The problem is due to both a bug in Windows XP, and in the display driver...

Try disabling the smoothed fonts renderer in the display setting...
