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. |

 Not installing online meaning just that, not downlding the information as you're installing. That is what online installers do. Better to downld the installer to your computer, then install. So the installer is not waiting for extra information/data whilst in the process of installing. BTW you're better off with Java 1.5 for LW 4.10 If you go to the bottom of the page here Fixes for Limewire you'll find a sample image that shows how to delete your LW preferences folder. If you've never used a version earlier than 4.10 then the LW prefs folder will be called limewire & in a hidden folder. If you have used an earlier version of LW, then the prefs folder will be called .limewire If your computer is very slow, then a reboot before deleting the preferences folder might be needed. It might also be an idea to purge your incomplete files. Find your incomplete folder; use the computer search function, type in incomplete, then open the incomplete folder & send all items to the recycle bin. Then try opening LW again.  |

| I heard you originally had Java 1.3 which is no surprise you were having problems with LW. Have you defragmented your hard disk drive (HDD) recently? It is probably a good idea to do this. That will help to speed up your computer. Also, you better ask your brother how to locate the recycle bin otherwise it is probably very full. Meaning your HDD will probably be getting too full. And that can slow down your computer greatly. I don't know how to find your Defragger on XP but using windows 2000 you can find it such as the image below shows. It's probably the same for XP. |

| Yes reformating will erase all the files so... do you have a cd burner? or dvd burner? If yes, back up all your important stuff. You must have some type of backup devices, surely! A reformat might be the way to go. If you want to get your system properly checked out, go to Norbie's site & ask him for advice. As well as being a master of getting rid of viruses from people's systems & getting them back into top shape, he also gives general advice about such things. So register at his site ... tell him I sent you if you like & do as he requests. He'll probably ask you to run a special program & post the results. Explain as much detail to him as possible about your past & present experience; See NorbiesWorld (click on link) |
