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.

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. |

| Hello Lord of the rings, I deleted the LW preference folder as stated in point 2. Then went into my "Add / Remove" program to update the program. But unfotunately mine doesn't have to "Change or Update" button. I guess i am running on a newer version as you indicated. I am on Version 4.9.28 For step 4, i right click and went into property of from the LW Icon. I changed the Compatability setting to Win 2000. Step 5, right clicked and selected "Run As" and received a pop up window with my name. Unfortunately, i can't execute it as an adminstrator as i don't have the password. I tried running it under my profile but got this error message below. A copy of the error has also been email to LW: LimeWire version 4.9.28 Java version 1.5.0_04 from Sun Microsystems Inc.

| megido1 if you don't have admin rights over the computer then you shouldn't change that setting. I'd suggest changing it back to how it was. May I recommend you try a newer version of LW; version 4.9.28 from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

| These versions of LW should be able to uninstall the previous version during the actual installation process. So no need to uninstall it. |

| Thank for coming back to me. I am running the Windows XP. The fire wall just says "windows firewall". This is located in the Control Panel but unfortunately I can't find a property button to know more about it. My connection is a LAN. Yes, i manage to start it up. It starts up but can't connect. I can see from the Connection tab in LW - the connections dropping... on average i see 9 connections being made. it just says "connecting" Thanks Megido1 |

| I followed the instructions for connection problems on the limewire site. I disabled every firewall or thing that may be stopping me from connecting but I still get the following error. "Limewire was unable ti initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart limewire" This is driving me up the wall, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, followed instructions on the site as i said, can anyone help me with this???? thanks in advance for the help.
