I think you've posted onto the wrong thread - this one's about how to start a new thread on the forum

I don't know what fixes you've tried, as there aren't any connection fixes in this thread!! Please let us know exactly what fixes you've tried.

For now, try the fixes in the thread below. If nothing there helps, please post back with your system details. You'll find info in the thread below about the details that we need.

Default Problem All Searces are Dud's NO Bitrate's

My Problems are Over (I thinkl) I went to "Birdy" here Post (2007) "If LW will not connect here's what to try first".
There is a list of things there to try so I did as many as I could BUT i have a sneaky suspicion that because I HAD Made My Default "Download and Save to" "MediaMonkey" and I was also useing MM for "My Player" to preview Thatwas causing the Problem I have gone Back to LW to Save LW as Player AND selected "Show save as"??
I also Selected Don't Show Tips at startup (Popups) and DID File Dissconnect the File Reconnect?? so I hope you will get something from this all thanks to you Birdy Dasha
