connecting to??
 

every time i try to search for music, I get a notice that limewire isconnecting to interned and it may give me what I want very slowly, and it never does. how come????

Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that LW's being allowed through it.

Try the advice here: all of a sudden will not connect (a fix to try)
Start off by deleting LW's preferences folder & changing Java versions.
You'll know if you've deleted the preferences folder properly...when you start LW, you'll go through the setup wizard again & all the settings within LW's options will have changed.

In case you're using Vista, things are a bit different for Vista when finding the preferences folder & other files/folders within Application Data. This thread should help with that: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If nothing there helps, please give us your details.
System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

thank you for your advice, I 'll try what you suggested.
Also, after I download music to library, is it then possible to burn songs on to a cd??Thanks Gene

You can't burn music with LW, but you can burn your LW downloads to CD if you have a burning program.

You'll need to find LW's saved folder...tools > options > saving will show you the location. Or, go to LW's library, highlight a file & click Explore...your saved folder will open. This folder is where you have to look when adding songs for burning.
