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. |

 Trouble installing Limewire I have installed Limewire 10.9(basic) and had it work just fine at first but then it would get weird on me and keep asking to be reinstalled when it already was; it mainly did this when I was simply trying to access the Limewire shared folder. It also would give me an error message that there was a previous version of Limewire installed but when I tried to erase the files it won't allow me to, saying that they are write protected. Or it would say that certain files in the Limewire program could not be deleted because they were being used...it would even say this when I ensured that all progams had been closed. Can someone help me figure out how to install it so it works again? Or if it won't work, to help me completely remove it from my computer? If I get Limewire Pro then the old Limewire will prevent it from installing fully or completely(it's also good piece of mind to know you can remove a program from your computer and not be stuck with it taking up space if it won't work properly.   |

 Do NOT use the Add/Remove Programs control panel to attempt to uninstall LW. It won't work & you'll probably end up with a partially uninstalled program. This has been true since LW version 4.4 The normal way to uninstall is reinstallling (it uninstalls previous version at beginning of installation), or going to Start menu >Programs > LW > Uninstall, or going to LW's program folder, look for uninstaller program. It sounds to me your initial problem was caused by a spyware program that doesn't work properly. Do you use PestPatrol or AOL security by any chance? If yes, then either uninstall it or put LW on the exceptions list. Otherwise PestPatrol or similar will remove parts of the program. Only use 1. ad-ware (FREE), & also Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE) as these ones work properly. LW does not have spyware but some spyware programs don't work properly. To solve your other problems, I'd suggest you delete your LW preferences folder; instructions Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.), & then reinstall LW. Get LW from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Run your system over with Crap Cleaner BTW it might be worth checking this page WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link) & do an online virus check. Your problem sounds suspicious if a spyware program was not the cause. It might be worth getting Norbie to help you. His link is listed at that page. |

| Try this, uninstall your Java. Now reinstall it using the offline installer here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=50931 Once that's done, install LW using the offline installer (there's a link to it in the above thread).  |

| Use your Add/Remove Programs control panel to remove Java. Then reinstall it using the "Offline" version. There's often issues when installing Java online (over the net.) The offline version means you 1st downld the installer, & then install it. Java 1.5 (take the JRE) After that, see if you can open or reinstall LW. If problems, also reinstall LW using the "Offline" installer. |
