Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

HI, thanks for your help and reply. I just checked and Java is updated and is running real good.

Lime Wire won't open, and I've uninstalled McCaffe and shut down Webroot spy sweeper.

Lime Wire still won't open on my computer.

Calvin,

Thanks I spent $13.95 on LimeWire and it was a waste of money because I couldn't get the program working at all. Just wouldn't open. Then, I downloaded FrostWire and FrostWire works for me. It searches for mp3 files in seconds and does what I need.

I've given up on Lime Wierd.

Thanks for your advice!

I also spent 13.95 and couldn't get it to open. Now I just bought LimeWire Pro for 6 months and I am scared to try to install. I don't want to get hysterical again. My Java is OK too and firewall is fine. What the heck is wrong with this program? Wish me luck I am going to bite the bullet and try to open it.
Will report back.
Joanne

Have I done something wrong? I know everyone is busy but I have been trying to get LW to work for so long. I am so exasperated.
Thank you to anyone who may answer me.

Sorry, that this happened to you. Why don't you go to CNet.com or PC World.com. Go straight to the download section. Look for audio, video or file sharing downloads. Try to find Frost Wire, Bear Share, or other progams. Bear Share is fun - you can make friends. Frost Wire is great, and finds so many music downloads. However, sometimes they say the file is corrupt. If the file is corrupt- please cancel it. Don't download or you'll let a trojan on your computer.

I am sorry. I had not seen a post to my question until now. The above message is in error.
Thank you and I will be more careful before I post.

BearShare is no longer the same program it was & is controlled against copyright sharing. The program sold out under pressure from a court case.

vaisforlovers go to your LW Pro download page & download the 'Other' version. It does not require installation; see Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. This used to run fine on the other windows versions, I presume it works for Vista also, but I do not know for sure.

LW Preferences folder in VISTA is 'Hidden', it is within a hidden folder. So you need to turn on Show all Files & Folders from the View options in your vista search function. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html
LW Preferences are created when you open the program the first time & set the options such as where to download to, shared folders, speed settings, etc.

If that option of 'Other' version does not work, try installing LW Pro again using the installer. Make the LW Installer set to Admin by right-clicking the installer & setting it to Run as Administrator. After installing you may need to do the same for the actual program. I do not use VISTA so can only go by what I've read elsewhere. Oh ... you may need to do that for the 'Other' version ... set it to run as Administrator.
