Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Limewire has to be installed by an Administrator...If your Dad won't let you have that privilege ask him to create you a short cut for your account...

Could you also supply these details please...

Hmmm...

You started this thread with the title, "ahhh vista"...

You have told us a lot about hardware and absolutely nada about your Operating System software !
Is it Vista ?

If so, get rid of the Vista as your absolute number 1 priority.
Then carry on with installing and enjoying LimeWire, OK ?


You 99% sure are suffering, as are millions of others, from the gobsh ite 'protection' features of Vista. (Which is an interesting concept, 'protection' I mean, as Vista is probably the world's greatest bit of spyware.)

I am not a Vista user and I will not say what you should or should not use but it occurs to me that an O/S, any O/S for that matter, is only there to convey instructions from your applications to your PC. In other words, the apps are important and the O/S is just there to make sure that nothing prevents the application from carrying out its legitimate task.

I think that for marketing purposes MS has made the O/S, i.e. latest version of windows, all important in most peoples minds when in fact it is a “means to and end”, not the “be all and end all”.

Saying all that, we have to accept that we now live in a world dominated by adverts, marketing and hype it’s just a pity that things like “facts” and “truth” gets lost along the way.

Im not going to get into an arguement over the internet(the most pointless thing since unsliced bread) but i still need something to run my computer! And i still need a way to use limewire without uninstalling Vista!

(My dad the dinosaur says he worked with DOS and he can assure you operating systems do make a difference! )

You know, I always thought that the internet was only second to the wheel as the best thing ever invented. For example, without the internet there would be no cheap or reasonable way we could communicate with this forum.

Plus, with all the information readily available on the internet it makes it more difficult for politicians (and their media friends) to lie to us, though some of them still try to.

And, like your dinosaur Dad, I too have worked with DOS and I do understand that having an O/S that takes care of all the hard things does make a difference but it is still the application that makes a PC worth having.

Anyway now to your problem, ask your Dad to install a second hard drive in your PC (a "D" drive), I would now suggest that your Dad makes your machine a dual boot machine with Vista on the "C" drive and XP in the "D". Install LW under XP on the "D" drive, this should now sort your problem out.

ummm....this probably won't work...you pretty much have to install the oldest OS first, then the newer one second...soooo, no matter what drive the OS's reside on (that makes no difference), you will need to wipe drives, install XP first, then install Vista...

I must admit, I did not realise it mattered which O/S was installed first only that certain procedures were followed.
