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.

I think it might be worth uninstalling and reinstalling Java.

Go to your add / remove programs in control panel. Remove Java then start Limewire. It will give you a message that Limewire must have Java to operate and provide a link to download and install it.

Good Luck

Norm

I got the same message after upgrading to the most recent basic version. I tried Norm's suggestion of reinstalling the Java, but I got the same message.

Help!

One more thing you might try if you are running IE or Netscape.

Go to control panel, find and double click the Java icon. Select the "Browser" tab, If IE and / or Netscape are checked then uncheck them. Reboot & try Limewire.

Good luck.

Norm

Most of these "class not found" errors are caused by a corrupted installation of Java on your system: Java cannot find its own runtime libraries.

The best advice is to reinstall Java: first uninstall it using the Windows control panel "Add/Remoe Program".
Then visit the official download page of the Java JRE :

http://java.sun.com/getjava/

Click on the download button at top. The install should start downloading a 9MB file, and the InstallShield installer will launch and cleanup your Java installation.

The installer will ask you if you want to enable support for Java in IE or Netscape. Check both options if you have both explorers.

The Sun Java engine works much better than the deprecated Microsoft VM for Java 1.1.3, that Microsoft will definitely abandon next year (Microsoft only publishes security updates, and is currently porting all its proprietary Windows integration classes to the Sun Java VM, and it should abandon its deprecated VM at the beginning of 2004, prefering to concentrate its efforts now in C# and .net, and integrating .net support classes in the standard Java2 platform).

Once complete, there is normally no need to reboot. The download page will immediately display a Java applet showing an animated cup of coffea.

To test the performance of Java 1.4, visit the Java showcase, notably the 3D animation demos. If these applets work correctly, then you can restart Limewire with the newly installed VM which will be automatically chosen if this is the default version selected with the standard Java selector control panel.
