Hi. I have an two odd browsing problems.

1st issue:
The search tabs refuse to close. I doesn't matter if I have one search or 10 searches open. The tab will close after many attempts at closing BUT, I can right click and immediately close searches that way. I never used to have to do that before.

2nd issue:
The search box refuses to become accessibile if I navigate away from it. The only quick way to get it to reappear is to right click on search and then the search box comes back.

What's going on?

Info:

1. what OS version? [Windows XP[/b]
2. What firewalls you have ? Windows, turned OFF
3. How much ram ? 256, I think
4. Hard Disk space available ? 80%
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? High speed, lol
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ?HUH?
7. Where are you trying to connect from [b******[/b]
8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? 4.11.12
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Comcast
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? Test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? Experienced user, new problem
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? no
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? I turn the firewall off
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? I turn the firewall off
Thanks for any help I get.

Sounds like things have become jumbled.

Follow these instructions exactly.
So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions.
Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/
& make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked)
Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search.
Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything)
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Thanks for the help. It still does it just not as often. It's not as difficult to control as before. Could be because one single Java file refused to delete, I guess. It was the jusched file.

Hi Pot.
Download this free antispywhare Program, Update it then boot in safe mode
& do a full scan, Delete all it finds.
That jusched file if you cant delete it, is a problem.
