Default limewire not connecting

I cant seem to get limewire to connect for some reason -- I disabled the firewall but limewire remained the same nothing in or out -- the green up/down arrows had 0 @ 0 KB/s - I clicked on Audio - Artist (typed in the name) - Search -- el zilcho

I never had any of these problems with the older versions

Thanx in advance

Have you just updated to a newer LW? First thing to try is 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 kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
Restart LW.

If that's not the fix, please give us some details
System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Hi birdy,Problem fixed thanx -- I was using a version that my son sent me (4.14.5 Pro) I read one of your earlier fixes with someone else and you were talking about the license etc -- I realized that this was my problem so I uninstalled the pro version and installed the freebie program (4.14.8) -- and its running sweetly -- Thanx again
