i have windows xp and am having trouble searching when i search for something it is not showing me all the files it will start to search then go all shakey and then the files will disapear plus when i am on my limewire page i cannot get to the forum when i press help or any of the other connecting pages like resources or if i press the advance button please help

That will be as a result of the Junk filter. The results show for a moment then disappear. If you wish to see what's been filtered out, you can list them at the bottom of the search results page. ie: go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Filters>Junk & you can set it to show junk files at bottom or in place.
