Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

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 LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.

If LW Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details:)

The orange warning banner with the padlock was originally added because there was a bogus LW update showing up in search results & if people downloaded it, they could end up infected. To try to prevent people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added.

Now, if you click on the banner it seems to warn you of a security problem & tell you that you need to update...heaps of people have been having trouble with the update so I'd say don't do it:p Use the forum search to look for update to see the problems that people are having.
