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.

Angry LimeWire does not load; stops at 12%; cannot close.

Although only recently downloaded/installed, program has functioned normally, and in particular when click shortcut icon on desktop.

Not any more as per Title above! Repeatedly freezes at 12%.
Checked Ctrl/Alt/Delete and myustery deepened: showed no programs running. But I assume that's because it hasn't gone to 100%.

Additional annoyance is the LimeWire box mid-screen cannot be removed short of shutdown.

Have not the least idea of cause/cure.
Hopefully one of you more experienced and tech saavy members can get me out of this quagmire.

Sincerely, RO

Try deleting your preference folder....
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

If that does not work try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

Exclamation LW frozen at 12% & Cannot remove box except by shutdown

Fair Dinkum, Aussie! Appreciate prompt reply. Here's results:

1. When accessed file as shown in email notice, there it was: CLOSED.
With Search did find it, but curious situation.

2. FIX file marked CLOSED Found Preferences:
Excuse inexperience, but only Preferences I know are those shown at IE7pro: General Settings 2 checked, one of which is crash recovery.
Tap Settings all 7 checked. Apprehensive as to unchecking, and need confirm this is the program to which you were referring.
If not, please include exact path to get to it.

3. Reference Java which you suggest uninstalling, etc.
If need be, so be it, but FYI , here's what I have : JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT 6 & JAVA ENVIRONMENT update 1.
As different than what you named, further amplification needed.

For info, my Live Wire (free) is v4.12.8.

Cordially,

There have been a few issues with the JRE 6.1 with some limewire users and rolling back to the JRE 5.11 can be the answer...
I'm not sure what you mean by the folder being closed you need to follow the instructions in the link I provided and fine the LimeWire folder and if you have it the .limewire folder and delete them...

Red face LW frozen at 12% loaded/deleting its box from screen only by nshutdown

Hi Wondering Why (me too):

CLOSED was what appeared when I accessed the Gnutellaforums advice of a reply to my problem. Could not understand referring me to a reply when thread marked closed.

You made no mention of my assumption re Preferences. Is it correct? Is there another location I should check?

As soon as that is clarified I u8nderstand I shoiuld remove the Java Environmental programs and substitute the earlier version. My uncertainty there is that whether the desired substitution should be made in addition to rather than in place of what I have. Reason I ask is because of the descriptive differences in the titles.

Cordially, RO

The link I gave to you are the instructions to deleting limewires preference folders which are called LimeWire and .limewire...It doesn't matter that the thread is closed, it's closed for a reason, so no-one can post endless problems onto a sticky...

The preference folders you are referring to have nothing to do with limewire so leave them alone...

With your Java the idea of rolling back to 5.11 is that there have been problems in the 6.1 with some users...Having both on your computer is of no help as Limewire will still continue to use the 6.1 version, hence uninstalling it...

Thank you for the clarifications.

I took the easy way out and substituted the PRO version.
It loads normally -- a big relief, and one that saves you from need to educate/inform me any further!
