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.

Do you still use Java 1.3.1?
Ten this issue can appear because of some known bugs in the implementation of DirectX in some display drivers (notably on some notebooks).
Updating to DirectX 9.0c may solve the problem.
But Java 1.4.2 or Java 1.5 contain now some workarounds for such display driver bugs that do not properly sequence the various graphic primitives (in your case, it seems that your display driver delays the rectangle-fill primitive by hardware, but performs immediately other graphic software primitives, and the display driver has conflicts when sequencing hardware and non-hardware graphic primitives, notably if they come from separate graphic API, such as GDI and DirectDraw).

So the solution for your case is:
1.a) update your graphic driver to get the best compatibility with DirectX 8 at least (9 would be best)
1.b) download the DirectX 9.0c from Windows Update (apparently you use Windows XP)
2) update to Java 1.4.2 or even 1.5, visit www.java.sun
3) open the Java control panel, in the "Java" tab, to make sure that the last version of the Java JRE is selected; if there are multiple entries, make sure to select the JRE which you installed the last.
You should uninstall the JRE 1.3.1 if it's still there. If there's no more uninstall row in the "Remove Application" control panel, then you can simply delete the "jre" directory where it is stored (in the old International versions of Limewire, the bundled JRE was created in a "jre" subdirectory of LimeWire, but it's best to install Java independantly before installing LimeWire)
4) Make sure that you can successfully run the online demos on the Java donwload web site (the "showcase" section): try some free games, interactive maps. Make sure that the demonstration JNLP applets run properly (notably the Swing demo, in the scrollable tables or scrollable images, which seems to be the most critical case where DirectX driver bugs are visible).

If all these do not work properly, you may try by disabling some hardware acceleration in the Display control panel. Try also by disabling the mouse cursor shadow (there are known problems with this mouse feature with some hardwares, because of conflicts with the hardware mouse cursor acceleration and the sofware shadowing of the cursor which requires alpha-transparency support sometimes emulated by software).

5) reinstall LimeWire with this new Java setting...
