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. |

 Finally found what's wrong! (but still need help) Ok... Many thanks for LOTR for his help earlier, but i've got the issue. Got so sick of having problems with all P2P clients that I went right into the guts of Windows, and to the Add/Remove Windows components panel. Went through, and found that the Networking Components checkbox was grey, clicked details and found that P2P was unchecked. I got all excited (as you do), checked the box, and proceeded to try and install the component. BUT THEN: I had the joy of this error message, halfway through it installing:  As usual, the error message is provided with MS's usual level of helpfulness and detail. What can I do to get it to install? This is obviously the issue. Cheers in advance, Jamie  |

| Do you mean the UPnP installation? If yes, according to this page you "might" need your installation CD at that time: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u..._02july22.mspx By default, XP's UPnP component is generally already on by default. But it might not be for you. |

| No, not UPnP, P2P. See: Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove windows components > Networking Components (or services?) > Details. I'll try again with the disc in, and tell you what happens. My only concern is that my XP is SP2 and my disc is an OEM SP0 from Dell. Cheers though LOTR, Jamie |

| No, same error, even with the CD in. Any more ideas? Windows Update shows nothing. Jamie |

| Hello  I am not sure on that error message - It seems others have had problems, but no solution has been found - Example URLs at the end of this post. The Peer to Peer services component of Networking should be left unticked and uninstalled, as it is like this by default - it is not needed to run P2P software as Limewire. The Peer to Peer component is only needed if you are setting up an ad-hoc or Peer to Peer LAN. http://www.security-forums.com/forum...2c9eadd2dfd7cd http://www.extremetechsupport.org/fo....phtml?t=97668 Last edited by norbie; January 28th, 2006 at 09:07 AM. |

| I do not even see the link between the error message and installation of a P2P like LW. If it is a Windows component, it is probably a MSN type of service, and I do not see how it should appear upon a P2P uninstall... Bottom line, if it does while uninstalling LW, your PC is due to reformat. Ciao

| Oh ok. Looks like i'm back to square one then. Limewire doesn't connect. Azureus comes up with a couple of errors on startup. Everything else (bar my BT mouse, lol) works fine. Want a hardware list? Jamie |

| Agreed, whether or not you have this component installed or not, is not related to your Limewire problems. |

| The app you are trying to install is not included on the disk it is a add on you can get it at the link below. There is information about what it is at the link. It is not something you need for apps like LimeWire. It is basically for setting up a Windows P2P network from what I read doing a quick scan of the article. If you want to install it you will need to DL the Windows Peer- to- Peer SDK advanced networking pack at the link below. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p2p/overview.mspx
