I thought Vista was 64 bit. Sorry to hear you are stuck with Vista.

So your LW can connect, you can search ok, but downloads are not connecting. That's an upload/download problem, not a connection problem since your LW is able to connect. I will move your thread to that section.

You will most likely need to change your monitor or graphic settings. These have probably been changed by the update. Only other solution I can think of is this one http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...-limewire.html

As for downloads not connecting, they 'might' be fakes. Take a look at this & get to learn the sizes to avoid Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see). Best answer usually is to re-search a file topic to find more sources to download from. Also using the Get More Results option. Another option is to cancel download, re-select it to download from search results, that sometimes sparks the download into action.

It might also be a good idea to see these: (a) Problems with the search, __ (b) Hostiles List
