Cannot download anything!!
 

After months of trouble free usage, I decided to upgrade to v4.9.28. Now I cannot download anything. All functions seem ok (searching, options etc) but double click on a file - Nothing. Right click select download - nothing.

I've tried using the same version on a friends PC using the same connection and it all works fine. I have tried re-installing the upgrade, but still nothing.

Can anyone tell me if I'm being monumentally stuipd?

Thanks

I'm having the same EXACT problem. Though I haven't tried re-installing. But yeah, I've come to the forums looking for an answer to this problem as well.

The old version worked perfectly fine, no problems at all. I installed the new one, and now I can't download. Everything seems to be in perfect working order, I've turned off the firewalls, I've tried playing with some of the options, yet when I double click (or right click and choose download), it simply doesn't work.

HELP US SOMEONE!

Hey, i just found the answer to this problem on a post from someone else, so here it is and it does work:

goto tools > options > searching > basic > and tick "show license warning"

there is also a typo because it says "Clear Downloads" instead of "License Warning" [edit] this typo has been fixed in the latest released version. [/edit]

you can also goto tools > options > view > popups > and click revert to default.

SUPERB!! Works like a treat. Thanks for taking the time to find out.

You Beauty!

I was starting to think about ditching LW (even though I love it), for that Torrent crap!

Let the good times roll!

thanks so much... i was frantic when i couldn't download any new music... and sooo glad when i found this.

Thank goodness. I registered just to show my appreciation on taking the time to solve this problem. I too had the problem with downloads not initiating after downloading this latest version of LimeWire. I would reccomend the staff pinning this or making it more obvious for the many of us having this problem. It's a simple fix and a releaving one ;)

It Already Is

Had to reinstall window pro...since windows 64 was nothng but crap, however Limewire worked fine the first go around installing. When I installed on windows pro...I could not download any files.
