Is LW connected (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, do you see search results when you do a search? If you see search results - what happens when you click 'download'? If files don't move into the download pane below the search results, try this advice: Cant download at all - nothing happens when I click download (click on link)


If LW's connected but you don't see any search results:
1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. 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 change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
