I just did that search and got a good page of stuff. I am wondering if you have let Limewire "warm up" this can take several minutes and you are not going to get good search results until LW has been running for 10-20 minutes or more. I "imagine'enableing open information sharing" is in the middle of the search screen is it .... This should dissapear as soon as you hit search I think ... but I am not using the latest model. You should have the bars at the bottom left corner all coloured green or blue and not red. If they stay red you are not connecting to the network.


wtfman you have posted a new subject in an existing thread which is not the best way to get an answer... however. You can not "Launch" videos in Limewire, that option is for music files. You need to go to the file, and open it with your default video viewer. That's what I do but I only have about 5 videos, there's probably a better way.

@ wtfman

Videos should launch from LW in your default media player. You can go to Tools>Options>Player, untick the box that says use limewire media player and hit apply. Then lW will use your default player for everything.
If your media player won't play them try one of these players:
VLC:www.videolan.org/vlc/
OR DIVX:www.divx.com/
