I'm running avg antivirus and have been running it consistently for over 3 months while regularly updating it. As far as I know the problem is Limewire specific. I can type into notepad and use all my other software normally. There have been several reboots too.

Again, Lime wire is not allowing me to type into the 'search' field. Instead, I get drop down menus in response to striking 'hot keys'.

Thanks for your help.
