Hey,

The last few days limewire has been playing up for me
what happens is i open it it sez its connected and all but when i type in the name of what i was to DL it was sits there doing nothing and cant find a thing...some times when i go on it works for a day then will stop working for awhile its been about 3 days since i could dl something.

Iv tried disconnecting and reconnecting , Reinstalling.

Any help would be great.

Is your LW fully connected (all green/blue connection bars) or do you only see one or two green bars? If LW's fully 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 you only see a couple of connection bars, try the fixes here.
