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.

Exclamation Reboot in Limewire Error

Several weeks on this.....

Xp SP2 Only.

Select F8 on boot to switch off the automatic reboot.

Run and wait for the reboot but......

You will then see the error on the blue screen....

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

and the killer

Atapi.Sys

Check the microsoft database but ignore the suggestions only if you are mad like me....

Search for Atapi.sys in the C:/windows driver folder.

Delete it (keep it in your waste bin just in case).

No warrenty implied and keep them backup disks close....

Default Limewire causes reboot

Just to add something. Don't know if it helps or not. I have the same problem with Limewire giving the bsod and rebooting. A couple things I noticed however. It only happens when I am connected to the internet through a wireless connection. If I disable the wireless connection and attach to the internet via wire into the router, I have no problems. This indicated to me that there might be a setting for the wireless router which needed to be changed. It was a linksys router. i have susequently moved. The new apartment already had a Netgear router set up. I was able to use Limewire through wireless with no problems. The person who controls the router then set up a password for security. It was originally unsecured. I stsarted getting the reboot again. The Linksys router also had password protection. Don't know if some of this is coincidental, but Limewire definately worked fine going through a wire connection to the router. It has only rebooted (for me) when using wireless.

Default PC silently reboots when running Limewire

Driver equal and less than zero problems are both MS Windows problems, possibly related to x64. Standard Windows Update should solve those issues.

The Limeware restarts my PC problem is a little different.

I have NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 ethernet. The actual driver seems to be the problem when Limewire Pro 4.12.6 and Java 1.5.0_03 are used. I've been hesitant to upgrade due to the "Pro" part.

Java 1.5.0_03 has known bugs and security issues. I've seen in other forums that you can't update the JRE without updating the Limewire software. This specific JVM (and about the 7 revisions after it) had memory resize problems.

The next step is to make sure you have the latest and greatest nic card drivers from your vendor. My computer restarts pretty regularly (without a blue screen) when I have 8+ downloads with 10 hosts each with "Turbo-Charged" connection enabled. There's some interaction between the hardware, the driver, Java, and Limewire that gives an fault.

The third step is to understand what you are downloading. There's a lot of junk and trojans out there. Very old virus scanners with "smart" behavior or script detection will shut a computer down immediately if there's suspicious activity.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, but it just happened this morning, so I thought I'd add my two cents.
