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. |

 KRS, Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. Otherwise, try changing compatibility (point 5 in the 'fixes' thread).  |

 Screen saver seems to be my issue!!! Hello one and all, This maybe completely unrelated to the issues other are facing in this thread, but my issue seems to be exactly the same with a completely different fix. I found as some of you also found that while working on the machine Limewire runs normally but afetr you leave the machie and in my case the aquazone (tropical fish) screen saver comes on, LW crashes. I changed from this fancy scren saver to a windows (flower box) and now Limewire does not crash at all. Like I say, your Java runtime version maybe the cause of your issues, but I have the 'bugged' version and LW 4.12.15 and the screensaver certainly sorted my problems out. Cheers |

| Hi, I updated my limewire last week to 4.14.10, and now at the end of the startup screen, it just dissapears. I have read all the posts i can find relating to this or similar, and have followed their instructions, ie. uninstalling limewire, including explorer search and deleting all related preferences folders etc. I have also then reversed my java install to 5 update 11, deleting all other versions first (including latest v6). Then reinstalling limewire (all using offline installers) but the problem does not go away. I noticed in mickjapa108 post that java 5 update 12 is recommended, although the link goes to update 13, and I cant find update 12. Do you think this is relevant or should my system work anyway with the update 5 as recommended in lots of other posts ? any suggestions ? eg.like limewire, does java need any further deleting of remaining hidden/system files/folders when removing previous versions after using 'add/remove programs' to do the standard removal ? on first startup of limewire after removing the preferences folder, the wizard runs as it should asking me to select my preferences such as connection type etc, but on completion, the remaining startup window just completes ie. 'loading user interface, loading core components .....etc etc' to 100% and then disappears. after the first, then subsequent starts bring up the loading screen again, which dissapears at the end, with nothing running, nothing in sys tray, nothing in 'processes' in task manager. any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

| Right click on the LW icon on your desktop > properties > compatibility. If you're using XP, try running in compatibility mode for Windows 2000 or NT. If you're using Vista, try compatibility mode for XP. Do you have Alcohol software installed? If so, check out the thread below & see if that helps. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post293318 |

| Hi thanks for your reply. Sorry, forgot to mention I had already tried the compatibility back to win2000 (running XP pro) and still same. I have also now tried frostwire which I saw suggested on another thread, and that has exactly the same problem as limewire. I checked my two daughters pcs last night and they both have latest limewire and latest java, one on vista home on a new laptop, one on xp pro on an old laptop, but both working fine so I'm really stumped now !!!! help ! |

| Important thing is that you have to check how many Java versions do you have. You must have only ONE version of it, not 2 or more. To be able to see how many Java versions you have, go to Control Panel then onto Add/Remove programs. Scroll down and check how many Java versions you have. I suggest to uninstall all of the Java versions, or everything that begins with Java. After that go to Java official site and download latest offline version of Java. Install it and hope it will work. There are lot of conflicts made with this new LW between different versions of Java. Try this and reply what happened. Thx  |

| Hi thanks for your interest. I did uninstall all java versions using add/remove programs (see post #24 above) before installing latest version. I also kept on uninstalling each time before trying the older versions eg 1.5_11 (12 & 13) but still the same. have also just tried starting via limewire.jar as suggested on limewire.org forum but still same. ?????????? |

| Hi wange sorry about the confusion 1.5.\10,11,12 & 13 are OK to use even JRE 6 without any updates is fine, the prob starts with JRE 6 u 1. If you have installed newer java versions, you should do a search of your COM for old java files including Prefech files & delete them before reinstall, careful you don't remove the installer files, Put your old installers into a new folder on a drive where you will not delete by accident , if this fails to improve things Post your details, I will see what I can do to help. Peace
