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.

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. |

 'Installation corrupt' during re-installation Hi there. I'm getting that samme 'installation is corrupt' message, only I HAVE HAD A SUCCESFUL installation already. I downloaded some bad music-video file that I tried to play on my machine, and the file gave an error that made the direction folder shut down... I wasn't able to delete the file, move it or anything - it just gave an error message that forced me to click 'ok' and then it shut the folder down. After I'd now deleted limewire with the program manager in the control panel it still hadn't deleted the limewire folder from my documents. I deleted the main folder manually and tried to re-install limewire, and now I'm getting the installation error 'corrupt'. I'd tried to fix it by re-installing. I've also tried the backup intaller - still doesn't seem to work. I'm suspecting that musicvideo file to be the root to the problem.... Is there some way (without formatting) that I can rinse my 'my documents' folder fr stuff that's hidden someplace there.... If there are rests of that idle file that I downloaded, it should be deleted properly (hmm virus??) I'm gonna visualise for you where the file was at: My document -> Limewire -> Saved -> the bad file I've deleted the complete 'limewire' folder, as I wasn't able to do anything with the file itself, nor the 'saved' folder, without getting an error. Please somebody, I hope you know this problem!! Thanks in advance  Malte from Denmark  |

| hello malte. birdie helped me with the same problem. what i did was i downloaded spybot - Search & Destroy (courtesy of the guys who made them & they're humble with their program), installed the program, run it & it did all the work for me. our problem is we got infected. that music-video file you downloaded may have caused it. look for 'Birdie' & try to get in touch with him thru this forum. i hope we have the same problem because the solution worked for me. |

| If a system scan does not help....Try.... Entering the files name into your Search (Start > Search)... When you find the file try to delete it, if it won't delete try using one of the methods in this link... Incomplete Download File won't delete at all. Once you have that under control you will have to uninstall limewire the correct way....Doing it via the add/remove programs will not uninstall limewire correctly.... The correct way to uninstall is Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...Just like you did for the corrupted file... Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.

| uninstall it sorry for the very very delayed reply. i was thinking 'wondering why' was helping you. anyway, have you uninstalled everything including the java? you have deleted limewire, right? try uninstalling java as well. after you've done that there should'nt be anything popping or at least giving a hint that you have limewire in your computer. uninstall it first then let me know what happens. but i do hope you already have it fixed. |

| Did you delete LimeWire from within the main C:\ directory or did you just delete the shortcut from out of the Start menu? You may have picked up a virus or spyware file (especially if you updated from anywhere except the official LimeWire home site) Try Running an Antivirus program over your whole computer. This can cause all sorts of problems if you have been infected. If you don't have an AV program you are just asking for problems. Luckily for you there are many available including the very reputable AVG free version. |

| Click on the "Computer" Icon on yourt desktop and this should open a view where your top directories are clearly visible. (it helps if you have enabled the option "Organise/Layout/navigation pane" under "Organise".Having the navigation view curent makes it a lot easier to get around in your computer. For one you don't have to keep going back to the top of your folder trees to get around in your computer. If you don't know what I am talking about best you let a computer technician have a look around your machine. It looks a lot like you have only deleted the shortcuts within your start menu and not actually removed it from in your computer. |
