Hi, I have been around to my friends computer and had another go. She has Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2.03. i have read the below problem in "installations" and this is the same as this problem:

" I type stuff in the search boxes for music and its just blank, also theres a little row of red bars on the bottom left of the screen and i dont know if its good or bad. There is one tiny green bar filled but thats it, if there are any dial-up users or anyone in general who can help, please help me, PM me or send an email to Forum Rules (click here)"

They are on Broadband. I followed the instruction regarding the firewall. Just don't seen to get any searches on anything. The message that comes up says:

" Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the NetworK"

Any ideas???

Thanks
