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.

Unhappy Won't open setup.exe file after download

Does anyone here know why I download a program and it's called setup.exe and I can't open it because of the following error:

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access.

It happens on every program. Thanks!

First... We DO NOT want to know the name of the program, and, anyway, the name is academic re: your query.
So, thanks muchly for not mentioning the name !

Second... You have to be out of your skull to EVER download ANY file that is an .exe file !
THIS IS A 1,000% dumbo NO NO !
There are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS to my above comment.
Believe it or lose your data and very probably 'destroy' your hard disc as well !
NEVER DO THIS AGAIN, PLEASE !!! (yesssssss, I am SHOUTING at you ! )
Got the message ?
Hope so for your sake !

D/Ling apps used to be not so difficult or DANGEROUS !
Now, one must be VERY cautious. Trust nothing. Be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you have an active, UP TO DATE, anti-virus scanner running when you complete ANY download...
Your 'completed' downloads should go through a 'verification' process that checks the 'hash' details of the file... This will be followed by either a further 'hashing' process as the file is automatically added to your 'shared files' (BAD BAD BAD BAD, but the default setup from most of the idiots who are trying to make their clients more 'attractive' and yet more harmful to users- NEVER, EVER, NO MATTER WHAT, share ANY file that you have not personally examined and scanned and vetted !)
If YOU do not examine your shared files BEFORE you share them than you have NO grounds to ever complain about anyone else sharing bad files, right ?
Golden Rule Stuff !

A bit more... NEVER, even after maybe taking 6 weeks to D/L any file... Never open the file without first doing a SERIOUS scan with REAL anti-virus software... This blows out 99% of the 'freebie' junk that pretends to work.

And, NEVER, ever (after D/Ling an app.), go to and open ANY site to which you may be directed, post D/L, in order to D/L any so-called 'key-gen' or 'password' or 'activation code' or whatever.
You WILL have mega-problems.
ALL of this garbage is harmful to your machine.

If you must do D/Ls of apps, look for .iso files... Or, at least .zip or .rar compressed files. AND, scan ALL !

A straight-up .exe file is 99.99% DEATH for your magic box !

Please be careful, huh ?

p.s. The other more simplistic problem you may be having with these files is that the idiots who are 'creating' them for sharing have no idea how to 'create' auto-run install files... The 'Setup' file needs to be accompanied by at least one or two other files which must be in the 'correct folders'.
If the files that you have D/Led are 'clean', you may be able to 'manipulate the setup files so that they are in the correct 'locations' and then you burn a new 'install' CD...
But, you are NOT going to get any more detailed info here in GF re: these 'steps'... Not legal, ya see ?
