searches won't produce results
 

I have a windows xp laptop and i downloaded limewire basic for it, and i have searched a couple things and nothing is turning up. these are mainstream artists, not unsigned ones, so results should be turning up.

In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & see if the 'show license warning' box is checked. If it is, uncheck it > Apply > ok...see if that helps

Also make sure that you are fully connected. (Full Green or Blue Bars). If not connected to the network please post back.

ok i did the uncheck the box thing so thanks for that suggestion!
but the searches still aren't producting results :\
i looked at the bottom left part of the limewire screen and the tiniest of the bars is green, the rest are red.
i tried going to file and "connect" but it won't let me, I'm assuming because it's already connected but the connection isn't strong.
is there any way i can fix this?

same problem about downloading
 

My tiniest bar is green the rest is red, it worked perfect for 3 years, and one day it did this. Help.
