Downloading wont work

first im sorry if this has been answered but i spent nearly an hour looking for an answer.

Every time i try searching for music, nothing ever comes up. I have did all the filtering stuff other people mentioned and nothing worked. I even looked up porn on pict. and vid. and nothing came up (too see if it was just artist or song i looked up, not pleasure!!) I have the recent 1.18.3 but i dont want Lw pro but when i had older version months ago it worked fine. Plz help me out
all the best..

whoops, i meant 4.18.3

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.
