Search boxes appearing empty after pressing enter

Hi, I was happily downloading yesterday and had to delete a file that would not play, I had an error and could not close or do anything for ages then when I did re-open limewire again it lets me search but in the section where you are supposed to see search results it is just blank. It seems to be working okay, just do not show any results. Any ideas why? Thank you. Sam.

Is your LW still connected proprely (all green/blue connection bars)? If it is, try the fixes here.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. 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 everything.
