Hi. I am searching for songs in LW and lately I cannot see any songs being displayed once I search. The firewall has been turned off. Any suggestions? I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no change. thanks

Is your LW connected properly (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 is, 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 Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details

It says that 'you are currently connecting to the network' on the bottom left hand corner. It also is detectig a firewall. Is this the way it should be?

Oops now it works. Not sure what I did. thanks for the help.
