Hi,

I'm new to Limewire. Suddenly, when I'm typing in what I want to search, the search "button" is not black. Only the stop button.

What wrong?

Hi

The usual reason for not being able to search is that you are not connected to Gnutella. Have you noticed that the light at the bottom left-hand corner of the template shows red at this time? If so, find the menu command to 'connect' and see if that does the trick. If you have a modem or you are on a LAN where the QoS is low, connection may be slow (or denied because of the threat of legal action if you are in America).

If you are a private user with a DSL or equivalent, it is probably a problem with the copy of LW you have installed. You must achieve a clean slate. Use uninstall and then track down everything with 'Limew' in the label and trash them. Download a new copy and install that.

Good luck.
