The orange banner won't disappear. It's there as a warning.

I don't know what happened with those links. Here they are again.

License (click)

Fake files showing up in search results
How to find music (tips for video also)

It's just never happened before, I have never seen this orange warning until now, If i type any music artist I get nothing, no search results, it's all empty, nothing will come up for me to download just an orange screen

The screen is orange?? That's a new one

Ok, try changing your Java version. You can either update to the latest version here (I have this one & LW's working fine): Java SE Downloads
or try this older version, which has worked well for lots of people: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Whichever Java version you use, download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing another one.

Next, 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 options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
