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.

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. |

| Go to add/remove programs & remove your current Java version. Now install Java (JRE) using the offline installer here http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Once Java's installed, reinstall LW using it's offline installer http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml See if that fixes things  |

Installation Problem - Limewire Basic 4.12.6  SEP 3, 2006 (2:00PM EST) Upon trying to install the latest version of limewire (4.12.6) I get the Error Message seen in uppercase letters below. (I have Windows XP.) AN OLDER VERSION OF LIMEWIRE APPEARS TO BE RUNNING. YOU MUST EXIT THE OLD VERSION BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION. ONCE YOU HAVE EXITED LIMEWIRE, CLICK RETRY. NOTE THAT LIMEWIRE MAY BE RUNNING IN YOUR SYSTEM TRAY. TO EXIT, RIGHT-CLICK ON THE LIMEWIRE ICON AND CHOOSE EXIT.) ABORT / RETRY / IGNORE Then, clicking either one of the three options results in a failed download. I do not have Limewire running and there is no desktop icon for Limewire. (I did have an older version of Limewire, but the attepmted current download killed it. I looked in the 'Add/Remove Programs' folder and Limewire is not present there. I am assuming it was uninstalled or surpressed in some way.) I also tried WINDOWS, WINDOWS OFFLINE INSTALLER and the link provided by Zak (Moderator): ttp://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe Any advice? |

Thanx Grandpa. (LimeWire should clarify.)  Grandpa, Thanx for the suggestion to reboot though it didn't work. Apparently, many users are having this same currently non-solvable problem. I'm suspecting a hacker corruptes LimeWire's site and that we're all downloading the corrupt files. Or LimeWire was corrupted on it's own. |

| JRE problem again! Grandpa, I tried your directions for editing the registry for this seemingly very common and aggravating problem - apparently when logged in with Admin rights I have insufficient privleges to modify the Limewire and Magnet keys under Local Machine, so I can't delete them. LW tries to install JRE update 3 (using the offline installer), and I've already installed JRE u8 (using the JRE offline installer). I've deleted my user account (I have another with admin rights) and recreated it to no result and have tried all these steps when logged in under the only other admin account. I only have the two accounts. Help!! - Bill |

| I'm trying to install Limewire on my wife's computer. I gets to the "loading Java" part & stays there. I've uninstalled Java & the old LW. Then reinstalled Java from the offline installer as mentioned earlier. I then tried to install LW from the off line install links mentioned above, but the same issue w/ the "loading Java" thing. I even went to the regedit & removed Java. One question with that though, should I have removed "Java soft" also? That I did not do. Any other suggestions would greatly be appreciated. My wife is now trying to monopolize my computer, which runs LW no problem. Thanks in advance! Ron |

| I'd remove all your Java versions & reinstall the latest. Also, try changing LW's compatibility mode to win 2000 or NT. Also delete the LW preferences (I don't know if you'll have any but if you do they're most likely corrupt.) Fixes for Limewire If still problems after that, then ignore the installer & get this 'Other' version: Unzip it & use |

| JRE help still needed Hi again, I am still struggling with this persistent problem. I have managed to remove the JavaSoft and Limewire keys from Local Machine but cannot remove Magnet because I do not (as Administrator) have rights to access the Handler subkey. I thought Administrators had God-like power over a system!! Why can I not delete this key? Why is it holding me up in any case? - Bill |
