okay so a i always install limewire then uninstall it after i've used it for a few weeks and it works absolutely fine. but yesterday i downloaded the free version like i have done many times in the past but it won't connect at all. when i try searching it says that search results wont be shown cos limewire is still loading. no connection bars light up. not sure what to do. have restarted my laptop numerous times and have uninstalled then reinstalled several times too but no luck.

please help! x x x
