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. |

| 4.9.11.0 downloaded now. Uninstalled previous version including registry. Not well-versed on this java stuff, but noted during last week's version that it installed with java. Last week's version the program opened without any difficulty and we used the progam. This 4.9.11.0 version also installed with java, but this time just as it was going to open the error, or message, from Microsoft stated that Limewire encountered a problem and needed to close. NOTE: A search (Windows XP Home) shows java in a lot of areas. A search in RegSeeker shows java in a lot of areas as well. I have not deleted, or otherwise tampered with this java stuff since I do not know whether it is an essential part of XP, or other programs>> absent Limewire.

| Hmmmm from your description I see 2 potential issues that may or may not be causing the problem. Uninstall LimeWire this way in XP start>all programs>limewire>uninstall 1st seems you have a bad java installation. You can remove your java by going to start>control panel>add or remove programs ---find java and remove. You can download the latest Java version from this link. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp JRE 5.0 update 4 is what you want. I would suggest downloading the offline installation and save it to you comp. There have been problems with the online installations. The other may be your display adapter you can search the forums here for it, and possible sollutions if the removal and reinstallation java didn't help. Install the Java 1st then install LimeWire. |

| No go! Don't understand how a prior version can work like a charm and this one refuses. Funny, the very first version we downloaded last week installed along with the java and with no problem. Most likely, we will not go with the paid pro version. |

quite frankely, we are not paid, nor do we represent LimeWire LLC, nor do we HAVE to support you. we are volunteers doing our best. so, i really could careless if you bought it or not. however, if you find LW useful, its recommended for you to upgrade and pay/donate the money they ask. it is open source, they do give you a free alternative to the paid. if you find no use out of it, you are recommended NOT to purchase pro.i think it says this right before you buy it. LimeWire has tens of millions of users as a userbase. and since alot of them never show up here, we can assume the installation on those machines went rather well. the problem is usually specific to one person on their configuration. [rant] (i reserve the right to blame the users for the products use and fitness for any purpose, including but not limited to the use of nonuse. i also reserve the right to blame the users if they mess up or cant configure their software properly, including but not limited to viruses, network config, firewalls, learning curve, newbishness and ignorance.) hmm, sounds kinda like the GPL preamble doesnt it? i like it!  i would also like to say that newbies dont bother me. i personally LOVE answering NEW questions, but when they fail to realise it should ONLY be stages of your life, not a lifestyle, this is what makes the experienced users frustrated... [/rant] btw, that rant is not directed to anyone here particularly in this thread, i just felt like expelling that.  |

| I am 48 and retired. The purchase would have been made for my son 13. I greatly appreciated the person who helped us to the extent he could. Where were you sir when your beta professional knowledge could have been used to resolve this issue. I think that my words were not out of place in light of the fact that a paid for product most likely would have ended in the same result. |
