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. |

 Necessary Files appear To be Invalid Hello, I have had limewire for about a week now and everything has been running relativley smoothly until today. I tried to open limewire but instead of limewire opening a message appeared saying: "One or more neccesary files appear to be invalid. This generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing Limewire again." Then it says if this problem persists to visit here and below that it gives out a report with data. I looked into the add/remove programs section and it is no longer there. Also I have purchased my limewire so I'm a little upset about losing something I have paid for.I don't think its a virus or worm because I have multiple anti-virus, spyware, etc. programs. If anybody has a fix or a solution, please share with me. Oh, by the way my OS is Windows XP Pro 2002. Thank You.   Last edited by TRM 317; March 29th, 2007 at 03:59 PM.  |

 Update Ok, I am scanning my PC now with a anti-virus program called a-squared Free 2.1 and it is picking up some files called: Trace.Directory.LimeWire 4.12 - 1 traces - medium risk Trace.File.Limewire 4.12 -20 traces - medium risk (both of these were detected in limewire) Ok so what I want to know, (as well as my problem above), is what are these? should I delete them? I may have previously deleted them, is this an issue? Thanks for the help.  |

| Don't ever uninstall LW via Add/Remove Programs...it can cause problems! Use the LW uninstaller. Start > All Progs > LW & use the uninstaller there  Also, installing another version of LW will automatically remove the old version.First of all, update Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove any old Java versions before installing the new one. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Next, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 below. Fixes for LimeWire Last of all, reinstall LW. You can download another Pro version whenever you like, using your personal download link. I'm a bit worried here, because you seem concerned about 'losing' the LW that you paid for. I'm hoping you haven't been scammed  If you bought Pro from www.limewire.com then you'll have your personal download link, which you can use for 6 months. Basic LW is free & is available herehttp://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Always use the offline installer. |

| Step Back Thanks Birdy for responding so quickly and with lots of information. But while this may be my PC and while I do have a basic knowledge on how computers operate. I dont want to get into something too complicated and I dont want to delete stuff without knowing what exactly I'm doing. So I'm going to wait a couple hours when my Father gets home from work before I try your tips. He's better at this kind of stuff. So I dont know what time zone your in, but I'm on Hawaiian time and he wont get home for another 5 hours. So once again thanks for the help, but I dont want to overstep my boundries in terms of knowledge just yet.  |

| Hi Birdy can you help me Hi, You seem to know your stuff. I used to be on the free limewire and now have pro. I upgraded because all of a sudden I couldn't play my files. I can play them in the windows media player but not on the limewire player. I have checked that it is selected and have shut down a restarted but I can't seem to get it working - nor can I find any info on this particular problem on the limewire web site. If you can help that would be great or anyone else reading this that knows something about it. I noticed someone else has posted the same problem but couldn't find any replies on this. Thanks for any input folks cuz I'm stumped. leenerbeener |

| Hi, I really don't know why you'd want to use the LW player (I find it pretty awful) but if you really want to use it, try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. |
