 Search MENU bar DISAPPEARED !?! This is very frustrating. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. I am running 2.8.6 Pro and just today my search screen menu bar has totally disappeared. When I do searches now, I can see the number of entries, however the actual list of files that i would click to download is no longer available. Instead it is just solid WHITE screen. Has anyone had or seen this problem? Does anyone know the fix? I have attempted the REPAIR option, and it fails claiming that it cannot run the /temp/LimeWire*.msi file. I have completely removed it, rebooted, reinstalled. And I have even attempted to install a previous version 3.8.5, but to no avail. The only version that seems to work is 2.3.3. Does anyone have any NEW thoughts how to get LimeWire fixed and working?? Thanks.  |

 I've had something similar. I cannot remember the exact combination of searches I did, but after using the 'Any Type' search once or twice, clicking on Audio didn't show the correct search details. Instead of showing 'Artist' or 'Title' it just showed 'File Name.' Infact, after that ALL the search types only showed the 'File Name' field. Sorry I couldn't help anymore. Cheers Vaz |

| I have tried every search type possible now, and in all cases, I still get the number of found entries in a grey tab up top, however NOTHING below when i click on any tab with found entries.... not even the filenames at all. This is definately a weird bug. I've used limewire since version 1 and have never seen this before. I'm not sure what spawned this bug in 2.8.6, but I posted it also to the Beta forum and hope a developer takes note of it. The fact that 2.8.5 also didnt work when reloaded, makes me think its not so much a beta issue though. I'm not sure what to try next to fix it. I have even tried to install into an entirely new directory. That didnt change a thing. I hope i don't have to abandon limewire and move to the other big download machine... limewire is much cleaner and more professional in my opinion than the competition. But we do need something that works, and mine is definately broken now. I had it working for a few days though. So I'll just wait and watch for someone to give new suggestions on fixes. Thanks for your notes above!  |

| Still not there I'm assuming that since no one responded... no one has ever had this problem. I have done disk checks, windows registry repairs, and completely deleted limewire (including the program files directory), rebooted many times, and reinstalled from scratch, yet nothing brings it back.. Still as first reported... there is a missing "screen". When I search, i can see everything normally in the lower 'downloading files' section, I can also see the 'download', 'chat', and 'browse host' buttons on the middle bar just fine. I can see the little "X" up top for each search, including the text being searched and the (#) number results found tab. However.... NOTHING but white screen remains when a tab is clicked. And no blue buttons to show name, size, stars, connection type, or any thing else that is supposed to be in the blue button bar. Its just GONE. It never comes back. I cannot use limewire like this. All other screens remain in perfect condition. Any suggestions??? Coders have any clues of what broke, or how to fix it, since reinstalling doesnt change anything? |

| You are not alone I am having the same problem. Today I downloaded Limewire Pro at the cost of $9.50. So far I'm regretting it. I don't see any improvements. The only thing different seems to be more apparent fields for entering more search info. I've already discovered that entering more specific info into these info fields does not prevent the annoying tendencies for Limewire to post completely irrelevant hits.Why, when I look up *****videos do I get a result for 'something Ant Farm'? Even worse, depsite entering the artist name, song title, and album title, I still came up with a gazillion irrelevant hits for a song with 'love' in the title. I am also getting that grey field where the title information should be. I'm getting the stars, file size, etc. but no actual descriptive information. I have not been able to fix it. Also, everytime I did a video search I came up with a bogus file ending in .mpg and comprising exactly 67 KB. It didn't matter what I looked up I always got one hit like that? What the hell is that about? I am very unhappy right now. The only reason I went ahead and purchaced Pro was I got a pop-up window telling me I needed to upgrade to whatever version it was. Sorry, I don't remember which version I had. I downloaded it back in 2001. I have a MacG3 running on 8.6 (blush). Other possibly pertinent info is I'm connected via cable modem. I have yet to download a single (real) file today. My daughter managed some mp3s but I was looking for music videos. I didn't have any luck with mp3s either.

 I Got My Search Results Back! Here's How! While re-reading these threads I noticed a mention of a 'repair' file. While I found no such file I randomly clicked on a file in the Limewire folder called 'video.props'. This automatically opened Limewire and when I did a search for audio file, ***** everything appeared where it should. I'm not sure if this did anything. Previously, I had opened Limewire via my Apple Menu. The last couple of times I did this I actually had to go through all the new user set up stuff again. I am going to delete the Apple Menu alias and make a new one and see what happens. I have no idea what 'video.props' is. There is also a file called 'audio.props'. I wish I had an explanation for why this worked. I am still not happy with the interface of 2.8.6. I really want the ability to reload a search instead of having to re-type the information every time. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!! I started a new thread before I fixed the problem, using a very detailed explanation of my system, etc. and a very descriptive heading so maybe someone will answer that thread.

| Still not working for me I dont use a MAC, and so your fix doesnt seem to apply. I use windows 2000. My limewire missing search menu issue is a bit different from yours, because I dont even have the stars, or filesize, or anything at all... I was very clear about exactly what the problem is, in the above post! If anyone knows anything about a repair file for me on Windows 2000, any help would be very appreciated. (I just have a hard time believing that unistalling, deleting everything, rebooting and reinstalling in a new direction wouldn't fit it. But it really didn't. No matter what I seem to still not have that one subscreen at all. Its sooo weird. Perhaps I should show some screen captures to prove how bad it is. I cannot download a thing this way. Hope someone knows the fix. (because I used to love limewire.) |

 Search Out I have the same problem that Vasquez had. I hadn’t touched Lime wire in like a month. Suddenly I had the urge to find a few old songs, but when I opened it up I noticed that all of the slots in Search had disappeared. I thought, huh perhaps it loaded wrong, so I closed it out and tried to re-open it a few times but nothing changed. My only option was Filename. I took a quick peak here, but noticed that many have similar if not the same problems. I did look for a repair file, but couldn’t find that. I am stumped and annoyed. Anyone have any other ideas on how we could fix this? I did try also as melismatica suggested but I also couldn’t find that one file.  |

| Hi Cougar, First off let me say, I'm so jealous you don't use Mac! Just kidding. I actually love Mac for many things. But when it comes to the fun and games of the computer world, Mac-users are definitely at a disadvantage. I read a post in a different thread which discussed a similar problem to this one. I think the difference was that when they opened limewire all they got was a blank white screen----period. Nothing else. I can't remember if anyone had a solution but I will do a little research to try to find it again and get back to you. I think we are dealing with a bug. While, for the most part my Limewire is back up and running normally, I still haven't been able to reload a search. I now know that it should be the same function as the older version, which is just to click the screen to bring up a menu of commands. For some reason that isn't working for me. In fact, it was in trying to figure out what happened to this function that I originally messed up my screen in the first place. I wound up dragging items around untill some of the stuff just disappeared. I know this isn't your problem exactly but I think it is part of a bigger problem---a new software loaded with bugs. I'll go look up that other thread for you now. Melissa |

 Problem may be do to memory/RAM issues I did a bunch of different searches of several forums. The most helpful advise seems to have come from the Mac Support forum, sorry to say. But the information may have cross-platform relevence. I will just give you a bunch of links to the various threads. They should all have to do with the blank screen issue in one form or another. Be forewarned, a lot of the threads just adress the problem--not necessarily a solution. Also, they don't all deal with the same version. I offer them because I'm hoping that a barrage of dialogue on the topic may bring the problem to the attention of someone with an answer or better yet, someone who can fix the problem in the software. The one that seemed to really address the problem with some knowledge is the first link. This one suggest that problems with missing information is due to memory overload, RAM problems, and Virtual Memory problems (I don't know if PCs have Virtual Memory, sorry). http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=blank+screen http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18617 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18688 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18419 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18609 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...k+white+screen http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18636 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=blank+screen http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=blank+screen http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=blank+screen http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=blank+screen GOOD LUCK!
