Album / etc boxes opening where the search box should be
 

When I am searching and downloading, the three boxes on the left keep opening up. I think they are album, title , artist or genre. I have to keep hitting search to get the search page/lines back.

What are the purpose of them. I think there is a way to keep them from opening up, right? At least before I reinstalled my Operating System two days ago it did not do it.

Thanks Eric

They have the info of artist and the album of the song your searching it is quite handy....;)

thank you
 

thanks, sometimes it may be useful but I know it but a lot of times I know the album or the genre.

Is there a way to turn it off. It didnt used to happen???

Hmm when you start off you have narrow strips to enter your searches in. when you click search you see them turn to 3 larger boxes with the relevent informatin in them. You can close two of them I always close Genre, but what ever is left fills up the box. clicking back to search opens up the original strips for searching again. You can size the window usually but some versions /skins do not seem to allow it, like the one I have right now:(

I hope this helps:)
