![]() Hello I am new to this thread but not to limewire. I got so mad I deleted limewire and want it back but it is not working..I was trying to get back version 4.13.0 that is the one was working for me.The reason why I deleted it was because I downlooaded a Movie call this longname ![]() all files for all the lastest hit movies and classics alway a downlaod u can trust at Ufo Joe Skunk Works.MPG and I cannot get it off my computer.I cannot rename it or nothing and YES I have tried this:Unable to Delete AVI Files in Windows XP? ~~Vic Ferri, WinTips and Tricks One of the video bugs in Windows XP is that you may not be able to delete or move a video avi file. Attempting to do so may result in an error message stating that the file is in use by another program and cannot be deleted. This usually happens with flawed or large avi files. The problem is that Windows XP reads the entire contents of the file into memory before even allowing you access to it (i.e. - when you click to highlight the file or right click to view the Properties). The bug responsible for this behavior is the file shmedia.dll which is in your System folder and called into play by the registry. Thus to fix this problem, all we need to do is delete the problem key so that shmedia.dll will no longer be used when you click a video file. Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT and click Ok. Then make your way to this InProcServer32 key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >Classes > CLSID > {87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}> InProcServer32 Right click the InProcServer32 key and choose Delete. And that's all there is to it. This will prevent Windows from loading shmedia.dll when you work with video files and thus you should no longer have problems deleting or moving any video files. Also if you have a video file you can't delete now, deleting this key will allow you to do so. If not, log out and log in again to delete the file. If deleting the registry key makes you uncomfortable, you can export and save the reg key first. Alternately, you can rename the key by preceding the name with something like zzzz or 123. Another method for deleting problem files (not just avi files) is by closing explorer and using the command line to delete the file. Here I'll give you a method that doesn't require you to enter any paths. Find cmd.exe (it's in your Windows\System32 folder) and COPY it to the folder that contains your problem file. Double click the copied cmd.exe and leave the dos window open. Then click Ctrl-Alt-Del and choose Task Manager>Processes tab. Select Explorer and click End Process. Once ended, enter your delete command in the open dos box: del mymovie.avi (where "mymovie" is the name of your avi file) Press Enter. Then press Ctrl Alt Del again to get to the Task Manager>Processes tab. Click File>New Task. Enter EXPLORER.EXE and click Ok to get Windows back to normal. The file should now be gone. And alot of other things like deleter,unlock, safe mode all kinds of virus scans none of them detects this file . the on option it gives me when I click on it is: Open,Play,add to burn list,add to playlist and a few others but no RENAME file nothing..Do anyone know how I can get rid of this file I downloaded from Limewire...Also I want to get limewire free version I have it on my computer but it seems to not load only does this: Limewire Setup Dialog, then I select English,then it says welcome to limewire setup wisard and it will guide me the rest of the way then:I select the folder I want to share,then my connection and I see it says Loading HTML Engines but nothing happens.I really need help here if anyone can help me I will be so happy.No my firewall is not stopping it I checked all that too! Thanks for your time on reading this. |
