Hey.
I've had some various and assorted, not to mention sporadic, probs with search results from LimeWire. The fastest, easiest remedy I've found every time is to just uninstall and then reinstall LimeWire. Works for me every time.

i have unfortunately already tried that. i have tried uninstalling lw, then reinstalling, or installing diff versions, i have tried uninstalling/reinstalling java....i dont know if ive tried every possible combination yet but im quite confident that teh resolution lies somewhere else.

OKOKOK, here's another of my cheap'n'easy fix'em up'*** -- have you tried System Restore? When was the last time lw worked for you?

Tell you what: I resort to the un- and re- install, the system restore, quite often these days. Simply because I have spent - and wasted - more f******g time trying to fix things that I couldn't fix, but ended up being able to resolve simply by re and un, or system restoring.

Other than that, I don't know. Have you screwed around with your "display"? Been dicking around in the "options" folder?

Try System Restore, if it hasn't been too awfully long since lw worked.

this is a fresh install of windows it worked before i formatted altho i have had this problem in the past, before i had just installed diff versions to get it to work, this time that seems futile

ditto the "navigation" button.
