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.

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.

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. |

| Your wireless laptop question, im your bosssss: It's very do-able, if you have the right hardware on your laptop. Try this link I found at Google. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search It looks like it truncates my link somehow when this reply is posted, so the keywords I used were "wireless internet connections for laptop." There's only about 17 million postings on the subject. I saw $29.95/monthly quoted in the preview on one. It's supposed to be super super fast, but I've also heard it's super expensive, so you'll have to shop around. That quoted price might be a come-on. Sambucabird, I think you've got the right of it. I was trying to think of what program I could pull up that would work fairly steadily on it's own, since LW stays awake when the computer is active. It's a shame we have to go 'round and 'round to find a workaround for LW ourselves. Where are the programmers? Isn't anyone delagated to creating fixes or workarounds on every upgrade? I don't think I've ever run across a perfect upgrade or patch, because it's impossible to test them under every conceivable computer situation. My company, who shall remain nameless, gives us the alpha and beta versions for UAT, customer acceptance testing. Last version upgrade they made us completely wipe our lab systems, replace the harddrive, install Windows fresh,0 and do absolutely nothing to try to break the upgrade (which was always half the fun!) So of course, under those ridiculous conditions the software passed with flying colors. When the customers received it, we found all kinds of install errors and other little nasties like disappearing customer address databases. But 2nd and 3rd level went to work getting our fixes all in a row. I'm confused by LW's attitude toward issues, but since I have no clue how the operation is run, I can't really know what's going on behind that big Oz curtain. So I'll bring up my itunes and set it to play. A very clever idea, by the way! LW has been very bad today about disconnecting every time I turn my back. Hopper: Hope you're getting the rest you need. 40 hours up without chemical stimulation? You should see the coffee I drink-- dark French that I grind myself, (so fine you have to use a paper filter). made one huge mug at a time via a drip cone. It tastes soooo good, but I can drink a whole mug and go straight to sleep. I still haven't been able to appreciate the free download site you sent, but soon...soon. Thank you so much. I was up all night last night, so I'm going to pay a couple of bills online then try to go to sleep. Well, have a brilliant weekend. Talk to you all later. |

| Howdy Sounds like you guys have been having a merry old time while I was gone. I would've drop kicked this computer into the next county if I could avoid foot damage. I was so mad at Norton Internet Security that I practically tore it off my system yesterday, even wiped the registry keys (though when I ran registryfix, it found a bunch more of Symantics under the next key down, not software. Oh, but it was pure joy to not see ccApp chewing up my memory. Oh, and my 512 stick of RAM showed up late yesterday, put it in this evening and I'm now the proud owner of 992 megs of RAM. I'm so stoked, except I need other things to make my system go. And I know that's not much compared to the new systems. I feels good to me anyway. But there's still no joy in Mudville--my Windows Explorer is still striking out. I open any file folder once and Explorer grabs 100% of the cpu usage and will not let it go. I've run every repair I could get, freeware or otherwise and nothing seems to help. Does this mean I need to reinstall Windows? Oh, please say it isn't so! I also put Zone Alarm on my system, and had to fix my floppy drive. I haven't even had a chance to open LimeWire in three days. Does anyone know how to delete a video file that insists it can't delete because someone else is using it? No one is that I can find. I've cold booted, hard booted and restarted my computer 50 times in the last two days Somehow I have to find the "someone" using the file. I've gone everywhere I can think of without joy. Well, glad someone finally figured out a good workaround for LW's narcolepsy. I will continue to bumble around here, trying to find out Win Explorer's issue. Oh, one more weirdness. In Task Manager, I have an executable that seems to be duplicating itself. It started with three, then four and tonight I have six svchost.exes. Three say the system is using them, two say network service and the last one is local service. One of the system svchosts is sucking up 26,440 K of memory, the rest all take up 4 or 5 or 6 thousand K. Checked in Google at some forums, and tracked down all but one, besides the one in System32, where it belongs. I renamed the others. There seems to be a connection between Explorer's problems and too many svchosts. But one guy said that Windows would create more when it needed them, so go figure. Enough of this nonsense. I also found a freeware cdchecker that checks for corruption in video and audio files, because there's also a connection between Explorer and corrupt media files. My videos all checked out fine. Now I have to test the music files. But not tonight. Hope all is well with everyone. Take care. |
