Used to get conection but not anymore
 

So i used to get a great conection on lime wire and could use it no problem, but then i went to school for a while and when i came back i could no longer get a conection. For a while i would have one bar and lime wire would try to conect but the conections would always fail. Now i have replaced my hard drive and reloaded lime wire and now i have one bar but lime wire doesnt even try to conect, the copnection tab is just a blank screen. I dont know what to do and it seems if a have used lime wire before it should still work.
if any one knows why this might be happening or what i could try to fix the problem help would be great.
