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. |

| Open Task Manager up first and have a look at processes and see if you have limewire in the list, if you have end task from there... If Limewire doesn't show up in there try deleting your preference folder, the instruction to do this are in the same thread as the Java instructions, in the link I provided...

| Same problem here, have been paying for and using pro for years, now just like that it won't even start up, I suspect it is a limewire program problem, and am sure many more will be posting soon. Luckily I paid with paypal, if it is not fixed soon I will file for a refund from paypal, not paying for something that does not work........ |

None of the suggestions given ever worked, here or on other posts, I finally got Limewire to run on my own, and if you use paypal it does not matter if Limewire says they will not give a refund, trust me, if I would file a refund complaint with paypal for a refund, I would get it. Here is what I did after trying all the other suggestions here and on other posts. Before I started to do all that others were saying to do if Limewire quits after running for 15-30 Minutes I had Java 5 up to version 11, so I uninstalled all the Java installs, and installed the Java everyone is advising, I uninstalled Limewire deleted all Limewire files and all the other things I was told to do, and after doing all that I could not even get Limewire to even start up long enough to even answer the setup questions. So finally I uninstalled all the Java files I was told to install... Then Uninstalled Limewire, and deleted all other LimeWire files. "If you do not know anything about the registry then don't mess with it" if you do open it and before you do anything back up the registry. Next I went to the registry I then searched for java, and deleted any entries that had to do with any of the other installs I had made. Then I reinstalled the Java 5 ver. 11 HERE which was installed before I was told to uninstall ALL my java installs. Then I downloaded the Beta version of Limewire 4.13.2 "which is running right now, and has been for the past hour" The installation went as smooth as it did the 1st time I installed Limewire a few years back. So this worked for me, BUT remember BE CAREFUL WITH THE REGISTRY, and make sure you back it up if you are going to try the steps I did, and don't get angry with me if it does not work, I am just telling everyone what worked for me.... -Hank |
