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.

Unhappy

My kids have had LimeWire for about 3 weeks and I was going to set up my other daughter with her own user account . I went to download Limewire for her to use and during the download it said it was removing all previous versions. The newest version 4.9.30 never finished installing. I've tried it several times and each time it says it is corrupted. I did manage to find the music somehow and get it into Itunes so the music wasn't lost. When I clicked on the old LimeWire Icon on the desktop of my other kids user page I got a message that I was to copy the report and e-mail it to bugs@limewire.com but I got that MailerDeamon thing. Also, before the download started it said that the source of the download was unknown. Wouldn't you think if LimeWire created the update that they would know who did it?
I really liked the old version better...

Sounds like a bad Java install. Uninstall java and uninstall LimeWire go to the link below and get java and save it to your hard drive go to the link below that and get LimeWire and save it to your hard drive.

Do not use the on line installers do it manually by clicking on the files you saved to your hard drive Java first then LimeWire.

This should help let us know if it fixes your problem.

Thumbs up thanks

Thanks grandpa!

I did what you said. I removed the Java program, then I had to hand delete the Limewire files because i didn't have the uninstaller . Some files could not be deleted though. Then I shut down the computer. Then I downloaded the Java runtime program and then Limewire again. It works fine now. Again, a BIG thank you!

Sorry to inform you but you have been scammed you need to get a hold of your credit card company and try to get your money back. Then go to the official LimeWire site and get it for free.

LimeWire Basic is free and Pro is $18.88 for pro and 6 months of free upgrades. Try basic first and make sure you like it then you can buy Pro if it works for you. You can get the free version of LimeWire at the link below.


As far as installing it the instructions below may help.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

Default Installation

I purchased LM Pro this week and I can't get it installed. Here is what is happening: I downloaded the installer which was emailed to me.
This worked. It created the new icon Limewire Pro 4.9.37. When I click on
this icon, which should load the program, I receive the error message. Right
before the error message pops up, I can see that it is trying to load the
program, it says loading resources, loading html engine, loading user
interface, loading window, loading status window, loading playlist window,
and then it stops and the error message pops up. It looks like it stops
right when it is trying to load core.....?? I have tried rebooting the
system, I have tried reloading the installer, etc. No change. Same error
message at the same point. The error message states that a fatal exception OD has occurred at 0000:0000FF00. Current application will be terminated. Java is running version 1.5.
I am also running Windows 98.

I haven't received a response from LM support. I have emailed them a couple of times. I have rebooted, I have deinstalled and reinstalled. Same error message. Does anyone have any ideas?
