I have been using limewire for years now and I have never had a prob, but now when ever I search, no search results come up, it completes the search but there are no results, it doen't matter what I type in, I had version 6.14 andthen updated to 6.18 thinking that would help but it didn't.

Just when I needed it the most lol

please help!

Ditto! I have had this same problem so often I can't count. So, usually, I uninstall and reinstall - again, and again and again. But, yeah! I search. It tells me I'm getting results, but nothing displays. WHAT UP WITH THAT!!!!!

I'm getting REALLY REALLY sick of installing uninstalling, reinstalling un, re, un, re-installing and NOW nothing happens!!

I really like Lime Wire, most of the time, but this is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi stclair55,

Did you try all of the fixes that I posted in reply to your first thread 2 weeks ago Exploding Head! (no search results displayed) ?

If people don't reply to their thread, we assume that they've either fixed the problem or decided to move on from LW. If people have problems with the fixes that we post, they need to tell us

Sorry ... I don't check my emails on a regular basis. But yes! I've tried all the suggested fixes and still no results. In many cases, those are my settings and it still does't work. So guess I'll just un- and re-install. Again. I've been using LW for several years now and this has been a chronic problem. Is there a "one time" fix or not??? I love LW (read "free"), but this little glitch is very frustrating.

I am aware Charter is not an especially p2p sharing friendly ISP. Problems 'might' be related to Charter.

Deleting your LW preferences might help.

Occasionally removing the occasional Ultrapeers from your Connection window may help to remove poor behaving or spam UP's. Especially those that are older than LW 4.18.8 version.

I have heard searching the same thing over & over can for some odd reason get your specific search temporarily banned from a particular Ultrapeer. So waiting several hours or until the next session on LW might fix that.

Edit: seems WW's fix worked for you. Good to hear.

(BTW the reason I edited out your email address is to stop the people who scan forums for email addresses to sell to marketers.)

Thanks for "editing" my email address! And, yes, at least for now, WW's fix seems to be working. I'll keep your tips (and anyone else's!) in mind for future reference.

Happy Holiday!

Yeah me too. i have installed and unstalled so many times im thinking about giving up, but i heard once it works i work regret the work i went through to get it to work. and thats what im working on getting it to work. when i search the bar fills up with blue but nothing still appears to show up after unstalling and stuff....PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.....A.S.A.P

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's ticked , 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, please post back with your system details.

Hi, I use Limewire also, and have had no problems with it, except when I was IE 7.0. I have since uninstalled it, and again find it working just fine. I've downloaded many different type songs.
Don't give up.
