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.

Default Questions on BSOD

I started getting the BSOD lately. I dont get it when I turn on "Automatically Restart" under system failure in Computer Properties, but my computer just automatically restarts instead without the BSOD
Basically, this error occurs whenever I try to Connect in Limewire. Java doesn't seem to be the problem. I've lately also gotten my computer reformated and upgraded. I have an Intel Celeron Processor, not sure what kind. And Im not a computer expert.

I've read through many posts, and I've come to a couple of conclusions. But I have a couple of questions regarding them:

I've read that one solution to this problem is to download Service Pack 2. Can anyone give me a direction link to it?

How can I tell if I already have SP2 installed? -because SP2 might be causing the problem instead-

I've also read that I have to download some new driver (2200BG), but isn't this causing the problem?

I might come up with some more questions.
But any help would be greately appreciated.

You can download SP2 from here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

If you already have it installed, your little windows progress bar (that you see when your Win is loading) will be blue.

SP2 has caused quite a few connection probs (totally stuffed mine) for some people. Maybe you should use the search & look for info about it before you install it. You may need a patch for it if it does cause you trouble.

I guess you've seen this thread (with it's heaps of links about BSD)?

You can see if you have Service Pack 2 by clicking on Start/My Computer on the left side of the screen click on view system information. The pop-up will tell you if you have service pack 2.

Ok I have SP2. I have some more questions

Now could the BSOD be caused by SP2? Or the 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset?

Is there any way to uninstall SP2 and go back to SP1?

Where is the link on Intel's website to the driver update version 9 for the 2200BG?

Thanks

If the problem recently started it is not caused by service pack2 and it is not wise to revert to service pack1. There are numerous security issues and vulnerabilities in service pack1 which can not be stooped. If you choose to run service pack1 be very careful what you download and what web sites you visit. The most likely reason for the BSOD is either a conflict with any new software you have added, any new hardware, either of these would most likely be driver issues. Or you have a ram/cpu/hard drive/motherboard or some other component failing.Also a bad Windows install is notorious for causing the BSOD which is very likely since you state you recently reformatted and upgraded.

Unfortunately these problems can be caused by allot of different things and can be very hard to figure out. Why did you reformat and upgrade to begin with. Did you use a original Windows Disk or a copy. Do you know if your motherboard supports your new CPU, Was the Bios flashed and updated when you upgraded. There are allot of things that need to be done and checked when you upgrade CPU's. Was the person that did the work a professional or just a friend or yourself that has maybe done a upgrade or two.

I reformatted and upgraded because my computer was overloaded with so many things. Best Buy's "Geek Squad" reformatted my computer, and they installed windows.

But chances are it could be the 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset. How can I find out if I have that installed on my computer?

Limewire restarts my comp everytime I try to connect, but it doesn't restart if I just leave the limewire window opened while im disconnected. It could be somesort of connection malfunction, thus which might be related with the 2200BG Chipset.

By the way, anyone happen to have the link to Intel's 2200BG Intel Wireless Chipset driver update 9?

But in the end, all I know is I just took it to the Geek Squad to have my comp reformatted and upgraded.

Ok Thanks Everyone. Just one more question.
