Actually, I had already done that 3 times before posting above.

To No Avail. Something is SET wrongly or corrupted in my computer that affects ONLY limewire versions above 2.3.3, and only the menu bar, and only the one menu bar associated with the search screen.

It didn't work reinstalling after uninstalling, and completely deleting all directories for limewire under program files (where I install). Thank you for the suggestion. Do you have any others??
