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 Something about a required .DLL file...

When I tried to install Limewire, an error popped up saying "A required .DLL file, USERENV.DLL, was not found." I'm not sure if any of you can help me or not, but I'd appreciate it if you could... to be honest, I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Default Missing DLLs

ProvWolf

I take it you are running windows on your PC, so if this is true then one of the dll's (dynamic linked library) has either been damaged, accidentally deleted or has become corrupt.

Anyway, I do the following when a dll goes missing from my PC.

Go to http://www.dll-files.com, search for, download and install your missing dll.

Thanks for the help, but I downloaded the file and now when I try to install LimeWire, an error comes up that says "The USERENV.DLL file is linked to missing export NT.DLL:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U." Is there any way to fix this?

2 questions have you done a virus scan recently if not I recommend you do a boot scan. And is you copy of Windows a free version or a paid for version. It is possible your install of windows is corrupt If you have the original paid for Windows disk you can boot from disk and repair windows.

Default Just a very small PS

Guys

Windows is such a massive "animal" that sometimes on installation a dll goes missing, is immediately corrupted or becomes damaged in some way. And I have found, in the past, that re-installing windows does not always cure the problem.

However, I am talking about a legitamate copy of windows.

Default omg im smarter then everyone else and i just got here!

you dont have to frikin reinstall windows, or get the actuall .dll file anywhere! thats not the problem. This mostly happens with ppl still running win98. All you need is to dl the limewire larger back up. This really is the fix for just about everything....read ppl...if this doesnt fix ur problem, then ur lying cuz its %100 fulproof for this problem.

ps. reinstalling windows shouldn't fix this, but if it does let me know!

Post The second coming

Grandpa

You and I both know that our solutions have worked for us in the past, if this new (false) Messiah has another solution then so much the better. However, the fact that he thinks he's a genius, regardless of the little detail that he can't spell, just shows that he thinks more of himself than anybody else does.

Then to go onto say: "if my solutions doesn't work then you are lying", what a modest genius.


Mr Gays

I have used Win 3.11, WfWG 3.11, Wi***, Win 98SE, Millennium and now WinXP and can say, without any doubt, that since Win 95 I have had to download and install missing dlls.

Now go away and bask in your own glory.
