Default Help! (no search results)

Hello! I've never posted to this forum before, but I'm needing some help so why not ask! Anyway I'm a huge fan of Limewire, but my problem begins when I type a name to search....It acts as if it is searching and takes its time, but no information comes up....I'm very confused and I have never experienced any problems with this program until now.
If anyone could be of any assistance to me I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks, cs321

Is LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If you're connected, try these fixes.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. 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.
For any Vista users: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

3. Problems with the search

If you're not connected: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Ezra, Please supply your System Details. Its the last Link in Birdy's Post, #4
Having Red connection bars means your not fully connected. Possibly a Firewall Problem.
