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. |

 Freebie runs Great Pro Stalls and Locks I took a plunge and bought the ( NEW)pro-version,after using free for the last year. Pro locks, stalls and and is not any faster in turbo then free. I took the advice LM gives on the site changing driver and refresh, that did nothing. I unistalled the pro-losing $18.88, support didnt ( hasnt yet going on 2 days) responded so now back to using the free version. If anyone has any advice on this Id apprciate it, I feel like I just got ripped off because Pro is not any better its worse. Infact pro would have locked while I was in IE at the end of this message I again check my freebie edition and its downloading just fine. Not a happy customer, but the free limewire is still a good product. I may think twice before I buy a pro odf anything until I make sure its worth it. Online user  |

 Hello It run some times for even and hour or as litle as 5 minutes I can be checking email with other programs open or none. There is no errors its just locks up. Mean while all other programs will not stall if I have any open they are fine. I have Java 1.5 Win xp home sp2. I have over 700 in ram running a ATI radeo 9600 128 video card. Have 160 gigs harddrive and a 2.1 celeron . I run cable at 3mb 2.5 mb is average I need to stress that the same version FREE is fine and never locks up and was fine the last year in various versions. The pro-first hous of use were buggy . I have installed it twice to see I tried upgrade from free, and clean install still no luck,. tried different drivers and tried low levels of refresh down to 65hz as well as changing color res. I would have cared but I paid fro pro- and it slower and buggy as mentioned. I wasnt exspecting the pro to cause any problems but it has. hope this helps describe it better.? Online Dude |

| Have you tried updating your Java? I know it shouldn't make any diff because the basic version runs fine, you could try it if you like http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp To be honest I'm not sure what could be causing your problems but other people here might have more clues, wait & see if anyone else responds to your thread. I know it's frustrating for you but be patient & hopefully one of the gurus will have some ideas! Did you have the preferences for Pro set up exactly the same as basic? Try deleting the preferences folder, see points 2 & 3 here Fixes for LimeWire Last edited by birdy; July 8th, 2006 at 06:18 PM. |

| Try these for the white/blank screen. Some of them you may not apply to you but just have a look through, you might find a fix! Loading blank Grey screen Grey screen/language options |

| You may want to post this in the beta section there is virtually no difference in pro and basic other than allowing you to connect to more host and a different splash screen. If your computer runs fine with basic then it should run fine with pro. The link below will take you to the LimeWire beta section. http://www.limewire.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=75

| There may be no difference but I unistalled both and pro fails, there is some other difference, perhaps how it handles more hosts maybe uses active x or something. Been using free versions over a year, makes no sense why pro would not work. PS it left in tray it tends to work longer. but eventually just stops and freezes. Now the free version is acting buggy having never done it before, I could not find my older version so installed the new free. This tells me that this new version is the problem. Been through the beta see no help ????? Online Dude |

| Did you try deleting your LW preferences? LW is different to what it used to be so deleting the LW prefs will be a good thing to do. Which version of Java are you using? You could always try the Java beta 1.6 as it's had good reports. However, in order to use it with LW, you'll need to remove all other Java versions or else LW won't see it. Get the 1.6 here: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/download.jsp JRE "Offline" version which is a 15.72 MB download |
