y does it only ever work once?
 

Hi everybody.
I have installed limewire basic many times on different computers and its always worked fine the first time then thereafter it will never locate anything at all on a search. I thought because it was basic so i upgraded to Pro and lo and behold the same problem.................so for some reason i can only ever use limewire the once. Frustrating, Why would this be??
thanks

Sounds like you are not connecting to the Network. Are the connection Bars Full (either Blue or Green)?? Do you see a Brick Wall in front of the Blue Globe?? If the connection Bars arn't Full and you have the wall, then you are Not connecting.

Hi
thanks so much for replying.
The bars are blue but yes there is a brick wall in front of the globe..............?
cheers

It says that its connected. Love to know whats wrong as it happens on both computers.

Try these fixes and if no luck then you may need to post your system details. system details

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.

Dear Remoc
Thanks again for the help.
No the show liscence box wasnt ticked. Im afraid i dont know where the preferences or connections tabs are found??? sorry!
I am using a broadband connection. HP Intel/Pentium 1.40 GHZ 224 mb ram. Windows XP Home. I have 17.3gb spare.
I have run basic several times on this and another computer and downloaded a fair bit then the next time i switch it on it wont go so i thought id try pro and the same thing happens. Fine until i turn it off and it comes alive but wont do anything. Says it performing the search but never ever finds anything.
cheers

Hi Lesley and sorry for your troubles, but we really need the info on the system details Link I provided. By providing those details, we may be able to determine if it's things like a firewall in your router or if your ISP may have something to do with it. May be several things but need more info. Thanks.
