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 WinXP issues

Most probably, these are not LimeWire issues, but issues within the WinXP kernel and one of your hardware drivers.
WinXP is a young OS, and has its own bugs, so that a bogous hardware driver may have their own internal resource leaks, such as interrupt handlers.
First check your graphics and IDE drivers, and your BIOS release, which are the most probable cause of internal OS hangs and blue screens. Many drivers have only been tested on Windows 2000, not on XP. Additionally, using a Windows 95 driver may raise these bugs. Using a Windows 2000 driver will solve most problems, if you don't have a certified driver for Windows XP. Also try to disable APM BIOS support which is not very well tested on laptops, because APM is best supported on notebooks.

I'm running XP on an HP notebook, and have never experienced any blue screen and reboot, but I have some on a Taiwanese laptop, probably due to a motherboard issue with asynchronous I/O. These bugs can occur in Office or even sometimes within the shell, even if LimeWire is not running.

So make sure that XP can run smoothly without LimeWire running, by testing it for a full night with just the screensaver. Check that the sleep/resume function works correctly without LimeWire running.
Finally check that you have the latest Java JRE installed (LimeWire provides you with a version of the Sun Java JRE, but you may uninstall it and install a newer version): some Windows XP issues are being solved by Sun, as some bugs are detected and patched in Java, or workarounds are included to solve some known XP bugs. Also check the Microsoft WindowsUpdate to get the latest service packs that solves bugs and security issues in XP.

For me, there is strictly no problem in LimeWire since version 1.8 and up to the current version 2.2.3 on Windows XP. If you had installed a previous version of LimeWire, use Adaware to remove old (now unsupported) ads-wares before reinstalling the latest LimeWire version. Don't upgrade LimeWire without first uninstalling it completely, as this won't remove now unsupported ads-wares.

Java 1.4 and LW 2.2.4pro does not install only installs with
1.3_02 version. I installed Java 1.4 after and LW did not work for me. I'm not a Java Guru here. But ended up re-installing Java 1.3_02.


Thanks for your support

To get the latest clean install of Java go to this page:
http://java.sun.com/getjava
Then click on the download icon at top of the page.
This will install correctly Java onyour machine.
If the automated upgrade does not work, you may hae a corrupted install of Java.
In that case:
- open the Windows control panel and click on Install programs/add hardware
- search Java in the list of programs, and unistall it: it will remove all corrupted registry keys
Then reinstall Java from the above link.

If this still does not work, delete the directory where Java is installed, and open regedit, goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
JavaSoft
Java RunTime Environment
Delete the key marked "Java RunTime Environment"
Then reinstall Java from the above link.
When the Java applet displays an animated cup of coffea, you can test the performance of your new Java RunTime by visiting the Java ShowCase on the same site , notably the 3D demos. It will convince you that Java 1.4.1 is great and adds a lot of performance gains face to Java 1.3, because its memory manager has been a lot enhanced and because its internal runtime optimizer generates better native code on both Windows and Linux.

For Macintoshes, the Java runtime is on the Apple web site:
http://www.apple.com/java
For now MacOSX does not have Java 1.4 but porting it is in progress by Apple.

For Mac OS 8/9, the only version supported by Apple is Java 1.1.8 (There's no support of the Java2 API, and Apple does not want to support Java2 on Mac OS 8/9). Note: MacOS 8/9 users should really consider adding memory upgrades to 128MB if they don't want to buy the upgrade to MacOSX. This will greatly enhance the user experience by improved performance and less disk swap in the virtual memory manager, notably if you want to use the QuickTime player used by Limewire to play MP3 files.

LimeWire can run on Mac with just 32MB of memory, but some users of MacOS9 have experienced "OutOfMemory" errors when running LimeWire. This problem does not occur with MacOS8, as long as there are not too many apps running in parallel.

I agree with the last post. I am running XP Pro and I had to revert to Java 1.3.1_04 to end my problems with Limewire 2.6.3 Pro.

Java 1.4.0_02 with LimeWire 2.6.5 Pro works like a charm for me on XP Pro w/SP1. Give this combo a try!
