all searches coming up dry
 

I just installed the program tonight. And I'm unable to get anything to come up when I type in an artist or song. It says All (0) under every category. Also on the very top it says "Limewire: Enabling Information Sharing".

Why is this happening? I used an older version of limewire on my old computer, and I never had a problem like this.:eek: Please help...

thank you

Is your LW properly connected (all green/blue connection bars)?? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

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. 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.

If LW's not connected, try the fixes in the post below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details;)
If LW Will Not Connect

thanks for the response. It's simpler than all that. I feel a bit stupid. I was searching for artists and albums. If I type in title, stuff comes up. However, I'm trying to figure out how to get full albums. I guess I'll make an inquiry in the appropriate forum. I am having a HELL OF A TIME, compared with the old version of limewire I had.

Try the advice here for finding full albums.
how to download a complete album? AlbumWrap/ALBW files
