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.

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. |

 LimeWire 5.2.13 disappears after two seconds and won't run Help please!!! I have read all the posts regarding this however I need simple instructions, I have uninstalled Java and Limewire, reinstalled latest Java and then reinstalled LW again. No luck. It loads then when the opening page comes on to continue, it disappears. I am SO frustrated b/c I have always used LW on this computer (Windows XP). I have ran my Avast and had some malware, etc and that took two hours, so should be good. I restarted computer and still does the same thing! Has this happened to anyone and what else can I try?? Also, in my Add/Remove programs the Java update only shows, nothing called RunTime Environment, does this matter? If I need RTE, where do I find that? Can't figure this out and it seems you need to be an IT to understand some of these instructions.............so frustrated................. My firewall is on, but LW is listed as an exception. Are there any other settings I can check? thx Last edited by pazabot; September 19th, 2009 at 12:58 PM.  |

| Hi pazabot,  Did you remove any other Java versions installed on your computer, before you installed the latest update? Some people have had issues with LW when more than 1 Java version's installed  And did you download the offline JRE installer?Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista If that doesn't help, right click on the LW icon > properties > compatibility. Vista users, right click the LW icon & run as adminstrator & also try compatibility mode for XP. Do you have Alcohol software installed? If so, look here. LW starts then close, log: resolve_virtual_call You could also try the advice here: FIX: LimeWire won't start or closes immediately |

| Pazabot, I have been running Limewire Pro v.5.2.13 on my Windows XP operating system for a long time with previous versions before that and have never had a problem until about a week ago. I click on the program and after scouring for limes, it opens up and then closes about 30 seconds later. I tried several different things none of which worked however, a simple fix has resolved the issue. Here's what I did: (click on the following tabs from the desktop) My Computer>Control Panel>Security Center>Internet Options>Security>Trusted Sites>Sites. Then add the following two sites to the zone: https://limewire.com and https://limewire.exe That's all I did and I haven't had any problems since! I know it's a lot of clicking but it only takes about 2 mins. Good luck. |

| Birdy, thanks for this, but I can't even get LW up long enough to look at the settings, so that won't work. I did run the RTE offline version. I do not have the Alcohol software. I did remove all the Java that I had in my add/remove programs. Plus I removed anything from LW that I had in folders after I ran a search. I tried doing both programs on the offline versions for Java and LW. Larrylarr, I was SO hoping this would work, but no go. I did what you suggested, does the same flippin thing. I have had to use Frostwire, it works fine but I still would like to figure this out. In my trusted sites where these two sites are listed, there are stars present, is there for you: looks like http//*.limewire.com and same for the other. WHy would I be able to use frostwire and not limewire? I am So beyond frustrated and puzzled.....help!!!! |

| It's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What I did was read through the Larrylarr post "fixes for Limewire". The one setting that caused all this was the setting in compatability (it was set to Windows 98) and I changed it to Windows 2000. That is all that was wrong. thanks for the help!!!! |
