If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

I don't get it....what am I supposed to be doing? Updating my Network Card drivers? I don't even know which one I have...

Even stranger, this problem only started when I updated LW from 4.4-4.6, and even going back to 4.4 doesn't fix the problem.

Did you try the steps in the link I posted the 2nd time???

And softl link is for your chipset if it needs updated. You can find this in start>contol panel>systems>hardware>device manager ---
That will show you all the hardware installed in your system.

You may not have that chipset, but it is a good suggestion, even if the link is on a page written in Thai.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just figured out what the problem was, it's Java. It doesn't display properly, anything linked with Java on my compuyter doesn't work (whether this is to do with graphics card drivers, I dunno) but I loaded up LW, got the error message, guessed where ''ok'' was, clicked it, guessed where all the other things like language options were, and when I got thru all that, LW worked!

Thanks for your help m8.

More importantly, how to fix it:

1.) Load up LW and wait for the error message
2.) Guess where OK is and click it, the message should go away (or there might be more than 1 so keep clicking)
3.) Then keep guessing where the 'Next' button is in language/directory options
4.) LW will load up but it will appear blank
5.) DON'T CLOSE LW, but load it up again
6.) Minimize it so it is not full screen, then drag it off the screen and back on (dunno why it doesn't appear unless you do this)
7.) LW should appear as normal

You might have to do that every time you load it up but who cares?! It's working!

Update: I was playing around with Java to see if I could find the cause of the problem, and I crashed to a BSOD. I didn't get a chance to write down the whole file name as my computer restarted, but the problem was caused by a file called ''atidoeg3.dll'' or something like that. I take it this proves that the ATI drivers are the cause of the problem, and that we should contact ATI about it!

That would be a good thing to do. If you happen to get any more of that error msg. It would be good to post back what it exaclty says. This will help the Developers for LW.

Thank you

I'm pretty sure this is an ATI Driver/Java problem as when I try and open up the Java Management Console, it's just grey, like the LW error message.

Go to the forum index first https://www.gnutellaforums.com/

Look at the client forums & find the client (Phex, LimeWire, BearShare etc) that you're using. Now go to the appropriate sub forum for your question (connection problems, upload/download problems etc). Once you've found the right place to be, click on the New Thread button in the top left corner...that will let you create a thread

Also check out the threqd below (click on blue link)
