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. |

 LW Pro 4.16.2 - Program not opening after install - *Fixed w/LimeWire Pro 4.16.3* Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit Version of your Gnutella Client: LimeWire Pro 4.16.2 (Just bought 1 year) Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL): Fiber  Exact error message, if one pops up: <<no message or error comes up, no screen comes up, the app never opens>> any other relevant information that you think may help: New install Just installed LimeWire after I just bought it. LW installed without any problems. When I try to open LW nothing happens. I have been reading posts but most of them, at least something happens, like a blank box at least, for me...Nothing, I have tried reinstalling both LW and Java, to no avail. I tried a vanilla install of java just to see if that was in fact the problem, but it was not, so I have put my system back in its production state. My Java versions are as follows: (Though I run plenty of java apps so I do not know why limewire would be having a problem with java) Java DB 10.2.2.0 Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK Java(TM) Update 2 Java(TM) Update 3 Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 3 And again I am trying to run LimeWire Pro 4.16.2 (Side note, I have not tried to run LW Basic on this computer, I just cannot see how it would be any different, you can call me ignorant for not trying this first since I have been in the computer field for more than 17 years professionally) I have tried multiple reinstalls with simulating windows xp and anything else my head could think of. If you have thought about it, I have most likely tried it. just trying to reach out for the off chance someone has had this same issue or heard of this and can possibly tell me something I may have overlooked into getting this issue resolved, heck I have a year to figure it out I guess. lol, oh well, im always trying to look on the bright side, joking aside for a minute, I just want to get LimeWire working. Thank You for any advice you could shoot over my way. Thanks... Things to get out of the way so my first 10 posts are not just a waist. This is not a networking issue, I promise you --- app will not open Ahh, your second question... no the program is not being blocked by anything, Trouble shooting 101... remember I do have computer experience... yes I have tried reinstalling uninstalling taking out reg keys, rebooted taking off antivirus, reinstalled again, uninstalled java, reinstalled, multiple times and in multiple ways. Hmm what other question might pop up.... no I do not want to downgrade back to XP, and Yes I have plenty of free ram.... ok, I am sure if I missed one or two but I will be able to answer them when they come up. Thanks for any help/advice you can give me on this matter. Sincerely, Travis Stewart Last edited by battitude; January 25th, 2008 at 04:36 AM. Reason: removing unused font tags (weird) /n Changing title to show issue as fixed  |

 Update note: Upgrading to 4.17.0 Beta does not fix the problem, exact same results as the 4.16.2 version, As I am a new Pro user and have no other basic versions, I am unable to test early versions. I am still looking forward to any help I can recieve. Also after more research I found http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...g-limwire.html http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...on-t-open.html http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...even-open.html The above posts look like they could be the same issue as my problem that I am having. I am posting them here mainly for my own reference so I can quickly check if they have had any replys as I feel there is a good chance they are the same issue. This post is just to explain that after all trouble shooting steps with LimeWire Pro v.4.17.0 Beta that it is having the exact same issue as with the 4.16.2 version. Next step will be checking with LimeWire - OldVersion.com and try installing LimeWire 4.12.6 I will keep you all updated. I hope I can get this thing working, or at least find a fix. Please feel free to post if you have any ideas. Thanks Note to Moderator: If outside links are not allowed please remove the last paragraph and accept my apologies (Just trying to give everyone ideas to fix this issue). Thank You. |

 LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 Fixed Issue Steps taken to fix issue: Uninstalled all Java versions (Again for the 20th time) Installed LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 (Compatibility options - Run this program in...Windows 2000 with Admin rights) Attempted to open, and was asked to install Java (no kidding, lol) Installed Java(TM) 6 Update 3 - Download Java software for Windows from Sun Microsystems Attempted to open LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 again, and opened fine. Reinstalled old Java Software for my other java programs and my own apps JavaDB 10.2.2.0 Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 3 Rechecked LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 to verify it is still working, restarted to make sure it is not a windows fluke. All looks good. If you are having a problem with LW not opening, and you know it’s not your firewall or anything else, I would try the above steps to see if it works for you as well. I hope I have saved someone else countless hours of trouble shooting. Side note: It should be noted that I never had a folder located in C:\Users\<<user>>\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire if you have this folder I would remove it first so you are on the same page as my steps. I look forwarded to seeing if this fixes anyone else’s problems. Note to Moderator: Sorry for spamming my own post, but I thought it might be helpful to others.
