I dont know whats wrong please help...(slow connecting, no search results)
 

I recently went back to LW after using Bearshare for awhile but now it wont work. It take forever to connect and if it does when I search nothing comes up execpt that lock message. help


1. windows xp
2. Zone alarm
3. Not sure
4. More than enough
5. cable
6. Scientific atlanta
7. home
8. 4.12 and java 1.5
9. Comcast
10. your test worked
11. No
12. New problem experienced user
13. I did before but not now
14. Have no idea what that means
15. Just zone alarm
16. Usa

The orange warning banner with the padlock was added because there's a bogus LW update showing up in search results. It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.
The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music, movies etchttp://www.gnutellaforums.com/../ima...ilies/wink.gif

If you're not seeing the firewall icon things must be pretty well set up...that's good.

Are you getting absolutely no search results at all? Try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/263723-post2.html

If that doesn't help, 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 kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Let us know how that goes:)

WooHoo!!
