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.

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. |

 Windows stops responding when running Limewire 4.9.28 With version 4.8.somthing i forget and 4.9.28 windows seems to consistantly crash on me. Not a blue screen of death, but rather the screen freezes and the red "working" light stops flashing. A curious point however is that the modem "working" light keeps going. I have nothing to do but hit the reset button <ctrl><alt><delete> does not work. Any suggestions? I have add-aware and AVG free edition both come up clean. I have re-installed windows (i have XP Home) nothing seems to remove the problem i dont want to stop using Limewire so any help would be apprieated. (This problem also happened on the beta) very confusing indeed. Please Help. - Jonathan2133 *Edit* *Edited again* Please if you have this problem reply and outline the following: 1. Version of Limewire 2. Version of windows (pro and home are different. If you dont know then go stert>run>winver it should pop up 3. Any other information that may be useful - processor speed, time before problem started, attempts at fixing the problem, etc. 4. Grafic card and driver version if you have it 5. Java version - my info - 1. limewire 4.9.28 2. Xp Home version 5.1 build 2600 3. Pentium 4 processor, started i forget when, now happens whenever i reset windows and get updated 4. ATI radion 9600 pro dont know the driver version 5. java web start 1.4.2 Last edited by jonathan2133; September 11th, 2005 at 08:44 PM.  |

| Buddy I got the exact same problem. I tried reinstalling J2SE update 4 again and updated to the new ver 4.9.29 limewire and the thing still crashes everytime I open it. I want to fix it but at the same time don't want to reinstall and lose all my files. -Mouze |

| mouze i feel your pain Glad (sorta) to hear this is not only my problem. Firstly if anyone else has this problem please list specifics as to operating system, versions, solutions and failures, etc. I will keep an eye on this as long as it is active. Secondly, Most other instances of this problem or similar problems have had the grafic driver or java version to blame. I know that some of the issues have been fixed with the new version of Limewire, but there could be more issues who knows. I have a redion 9600 pro and dont know what driver, but it seems to make sense as soon as i started updating it screwed up. most solutions for other cards said roll back the driver. Thirdly (and probably lastly for now) I hope the creators of Lime Wire can take note and try to fix this problem. Please fix this! Thanks for your hard work in the program hope 4.9.30 is problem free! Input is welcome! - Jonathan2133 Last edited by jonathan2133; September 11th, 2005 at 08:39 PM. |

| A little more Info is needed you have a start but it is still pretty vague. O/S windows 98/2000/XP Ram 256/512/1gig Hard Drive space free Video card Radion 9800/Nvidia/Intel on board LimeWire Version Java Version Connection Type and speed Are you using a router Firewall or walls Anti Virus A good description of your problem. Open Task Manager by holding down Ctrl+Alt then push delete see what is running and how much memory and cpu each program is running especially LimeWire.

| Same problem. Tried reinstalling. Run weekly virus scans, and bi-weekly spyware scans (Adaware, Spybot). OS = MSWindowsXPHome RAM = 1 gig Processor = Pentium 4 3.4g Video Card = NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Limewire version = 4.9.30 Java version = Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 1.5.0_04-b05 Connection = 100kbps Intel 537EP V9x DFV PCI Modem Router = Broadcom Nextreme 57xx Gigabit Controller Firewall = Windows firewall Anti-virus = Norton 2004 Limewire was working fine. Then one day it started crashing my computer. Less than a minute (but not immediately) after Limewire starts everything freezes up and you can't open the task manager. You have to turn of the power to restart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Including any other decent file sharing software (not KazaaLite, Soulseek or Bittorrent). |

| In my case I do not get the "blue screen of death", Limewire simply causes my PC to freeze within a minute of it starting up. My version of Windows is completely ligit. The problem started seemingly out of nowhere. One day it worked, the next it started doing this. I made no major changes to my PC between the time it worked, till the time the problem first manifested itself. Help would be greatly appreciated. |
