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.

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. |

| I'd say your problem is a codec issue.... These codecs are for XP..... Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.7.1 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack You could also get the VLC media player it's free and has all the codecs pre-installed, it is one of the most reliable players out there... VLC media player - Overview To make the VLC media player your default player... To make VLC your default player Go to your shared folder (outside of Limewire) you will find this folder by clicking on one of your files in your LW library and clicking explore... Right click on one of your movie files Select open with Select choose program select VLC and tick the box that says always use this program to open this file type Select OK Also Bitzi is very handy, this link will explain what it is and how to use it... How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat

| ?? I installed the codec for XP and it still didn't work.. is there some sort of setting you put it at? I can open the videos after they are downloaded from the shared file, but when I push preview on this one video that I have at %63 it brings up windows media and than says it has caused and error and must shut down... So after trying that a few times, I went and downloaded this VLC media player... went to the shared folder chose to open it and all other files with it and the videos that are in the shared file all play on it automatically but when I go to the video I am trying to download thats at %63 it automatically opens windows media player and the same thing happens saying it has to shut down... am I missing something? |

| i right clicked on the video I wanted to watch out of my shared file and checked the box that said to use this player for all files if thats what your asking... and so when I choose to watch any file that I have already downloaded that are in my shared folder it goes straight to the VLC player but when I am in limewire and I have a movie half downloaded and choose to preview it, it opens windows media player and then media player tells me that it has to shut down. |

| You could go directly to your 'incomplete' folder and try to play the file from there. On my computer it's C:\incomplete, but I can't remember if that is the default location.  Dano |

| If I remember correctly WMP in some of the limewire versions cannot act as the previewer in limewire, that's why I suggest getting the xp codec pac as well.... When you get that sort of message it generally means that there may be some sort of corruption in the file and once fully downloaded can stop access to your shared folder.. By default your incomplete folder is in the same location as your shared... HDD > Documents and settings > User (your name) > Incomplete Folder...

| i downloaded that xp codec pac... it didn't make a difference.. I can only watch the video files once they are complete... as for my incomplete folder, I did find it but everytime I open the incomplete file it says it has to be closed and closes itself.. so it looks like I am just going to have to until each movie is %100 b4 I can view it.. its not that big a deal I've been doing that all along and so far out of 50 movies downloaded only 5 were either crappy copies, wrong movies, or porn..ek.... at least I did just recently learn about bitzi though, I can then check out most of the movies that way anyhow |
