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.

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.

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. |

 Corrupt installation? I'd been using limewire for a while until last week when it refused to start up. I got a box saying that Limewire had encountered a fatal internal error and would exit. I have tried to read around for ideas on how to fix this problem and I have tried the suggestion on http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32552 But nothing seem to work. The grey box that keeps coming up gives me an option of Send, Review or Discard. They suggested I send the information (viewable in Review) to the limewire bug email address, which I have done but have not yet received a reply for. Can anyone here please help me? I really liked Limewire and am reluctant to have to use something else! Below is the information: LimeWire version 4.8.1 Java version 1.5.0_02 from Sun Microsystems Inc. Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86 Free/total memory: 310824/5873664 FATAL ERROR! java.lang.NullPointerException at java.awt.Dimension.<init>(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicProgressBarUI.getPrefe rredSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicProgressBarUI.getMinim umSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.checkRequests(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.minimumLayoutSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.minimumSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.getMinimumSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.checkRequests(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.minimumLayoutSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.minimumSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.getMinimumSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.checkRequests(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BoxLayout.preferredLayoutSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.preferredSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.getPreferredSize(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.getPreferredSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.GetLayoutInfo(Unknown Source) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.getLayoutInfo(Unknown Source) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.ArrangeGrid(Unknown Source) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.arrangeGrid(Unknown Source) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.layoutContainer(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.layout(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.doLayout(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.validate(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Window.show(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.show(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.setVisible(Unknown Source) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUIMediator$1.run(GUIMe diator.java:321) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierar chy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarch y(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) -- listing session information -- Current thread: AWT-EventQueue-0 Active Threads: 12 -- listing threads -- Image Fetcher 3: 1 main: 1 IconLoader: 1 AWT-EventQueue-0: 1 AWT-Windows: 1 AWT-Shutdown: 1 Image Fetcher 1: 1 Timer-0: 1 Java2D Disposer: 1 Thread-8: 1 TimerQueue: 1 Image Fetcher 0: 1 -- listing properties -- INSTALLED=true COUNTRY= RUN_ON_STARTUP=false LAST_EXPIRE_TIME=1113219881109 CONNECTION_SPEED=350 CLIENT_ID=405D7E01F35EDBFF6663F3E829D05A00  |

 I would suggest to uninstall both the Java & LW. Uninstall Java using the Add/Remove prog control panel. Uninstall LW by going to Start menu>Programs>LW>Uninstaller. Then downld the installers & save them to your comp. Don't install over the net. Then install Java. Then install LW & reboot. If still problems then remove Java 1.5 & go back to version 1.4.2 (link to it in the link you supplied above.) Oh before you do all this, try opening LW once more & then press Control-Alt-Delete keys & open Process Manager & see how many times limewire is listed. If it's listed more than once then kill all of these LW processes. Then search your comp for other versions of LW. |

| Thanks for the advice but it still doesn't seem to work  I just don't understand...it was working fine and then one day it just refused to open. I find this even more odd since each time I browse the forums there seem to be more and more people experiencing the same problems. I wonder what it could be.. |

| Uninstall LW by going to Start menu>Programs>LW>Uninstaller Then re-install LW by re-downlding the program & saving it to your computer (don't install over the net.) Then install. Likewise for the Java, it is much better & safer to install from your comp than over the net. So also save the Java installer to your computer after uninstalling Java (using Add/Remove control panel), & then reinstall.

| So as I suggested earlier, you tried uninstalling Java 1.5 & going back to Java 1.4.2 (link above)? If so then outta ideas. Are there any updates or new installations you did that might have affected LW? Sounds like something might be clashing perhaps. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; April 19th, 2005 at 07:03 AM. |

| Ok this is extremely weird... but I just thought I'd keep you updated. Since my last post in this thread I had given up and decided to quit installing, uninstalling, reinstalling over and over again. So let's see..that was about 5 days ago? Yes I experienced withdrawal symptoms :P Don't worry I'm slowly getting to the point here. Anyway, 5 minutes ago I decided to give the installation another go, being hopeful. You know what? It's working perfectly. Unfortunately Squirtukuk I don't have any advice to give you as I didn't change anything about my computer. I just hope this never happens again. I'll never take Limewire for granted again  Thanks to those who tried to help  |

| Greetings snackinabox Glad you got things working again Hi Squirtukuk It looks as though you have a firewall blocking your connection. [Quote] Received incoming this session: false Check your firewall settings. Make sure you are allowing LW full access TCP and UDP. Who is your Internet Service Provider, they may also be blocking/filtering p2p programs. What is your Modem type and model and router type and model no. Some have NAT firewalls. |
