Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Now there are 5 of my personal computers that are running Vista and LimeWire with no problems all different configurations. So just because you are having problems doesn't mean everybody is. (In fact most Are Not)

The one common thing I see on your set up is SATD drives. And I see you are using a Razor Mouse. I do remember a while back some post from people having trouble with LimeWire and having a conflict with there aftermarket mouse.

Using onboard Realtek audio, latest drivers.

Point me to the problem driver, i'll remove it, and watch Limewire open, then close.
haha nice, so yea are you using an AM2 cpu?? otherwise from all of that we dun have any related driver hahaha.

Very Interesting indead i think the whole it's a driver problem went out the window.(not to mention it already did just with my different systems i have). We are probbaly boned until a new version that comes out taht will address our problem, that or Java, ugh guess i'll continue to look for one of those old version.

Hopefully we can get a real answer soon.

edit.

So your saying the SATA controller Driver is causing a problem???

if that was the case wouldn't it cause a problem with everyone(your also foregtting that each one of my systems is using a Different Chipset menaing Differnt Drivers per Sata Controller)

And only 2 of my machines are using the Razor driver so that again isn't consistant.

You also have no Vista Ultimate 32bit.

I was running 32 bit on computer #1 with LimeWire for a while with no problem. And as I have said before I have run every version of LimeWire on Vista since the first Vista beta. Which version of LimeWire are you looking for.

I can't freakin believe it, but it is a driver, and i found it.

Valus, do you have alcohol 120 installed ?


Azureus closes immeaditely after opening

After reading that again, maybe it's a problem with "AxShlex.dll" ? Grandpa had me steaming mad at drivers, so after removing Alcohol 120 Limewire now works, and I just suspected the virtual drive driver. Maybe not. But I'll sure look into this closer. I've been trying to get this to work forever without luck, until now.

Update:

Reinstalled Alcohol 120, but renamed "AxShlex.dll" to "AxShlex.dll.OLD".
My Limewire is still working. So, I've found what was killing it for me. Working fine now.

I assume that's fixed your problem as well Valus, you've signed out and not returned. I want to thank you for even starting this thread, because true enough, I'd gave up on getting Limewire to work. And I want to thank Gandpa for prodding me along. Thanks, to the both of you.

haha i found a fix but it was with Java/Limewire

and i had to pick up my wife from a party thats why i logged didn't get bakc home till 4am,

anyways,

what i did was I un-installed JAVA completly from my system and let Limewire install it's version of Java and bam it works.

I then uninstalled Limewire/Java and re-installed Java 6 and limewire again and same issues.

I also found that installing a Torrent Program also correct Limewire and makes it run.

Previously none of my systems had any torrent download program, I Decided to install Bitcomet, and what do you know after installing bitcomet with Limewire/Java 6 install Limewire happens to work(sort of).

I then uninstalled Bitcomet and bam stopd working again.

And i also tested your issue with Alcohol 120, I have the same results as if it weren't instaleld if i run the same test again.

As of right now,

Java 5.03(which Limewire installs) works,

Java 6 with Limewire doens't

If i donwload any version of Java from Java itself it also doesn't work(even the 5.03).

Java 6 with Bitcomet installed Partialy works(2 of my servers work fine with it though)

All have same results with Alchohol 120 installed or not installed.

Now did you install Azureus prior to Limewire working or after it working?

Becaus ei have the impression that there is someting within these programs that correct limewire into working

Also "Azureus does not work when Alcohol is installed"

No no, I've never had Azureus installed. I only posted that link for referencing the bottom two replies on that page. I have however installed Bit Comet at one time or another, but uninstalled it. I do have utorrent installed.

All I know is, I seen what was posted on the page that I posted the link to, and uninstalled Alcohol and nearly fell over in the floor and turned blue when I opened Limewire and it stayed open.

I've been wrestling with it for sometime, and never pinpointed it to Alcohol being the problem. I can tell you that Bit Comet WILL cause a cascading effect running it under Windows XP when you visit the Windows Update page. On the right hand side of your browser window, it'll open the same thing several times when visiting Windows Update making Windows Update useless. It's the BHO that Bit Comet installs, remove it, and Windows Updates works as it should under Windows XP.

Anyway, im sure glad you found some sort of solution. Thanks man !
