but when I did the right freakin' thing and bought the software I got a program that, while it performs searches, doesn't freaking display the results! I've tried fixing the databank, reloading the program, downloading the international version, but still no split search/download screen. Its all downloads, no search. What gives?

If I uninstall, will I lose my shared folder & downloads, or can I move the entire folder to temp storage, uninstall Limewire, redownload it, reinstall it, and then reintroduce my shared folder to the reinstalled program?
