After connecting to Limewire, the "Upgrade to PRO" box appears as it always does. Usually I would x (close) the box and began to search. Now, I can not x or close the box no matter what I do. The box is preventing me to proceed to search. I am not sure of what details you require for this post, so I will provide as much information as possible. P.S. I am not computer friendly, especially the techical stuff. So please provide detailed answers.

1. Opperation System - Windows XP
2. Firewalls I have - Windows. I also have Mcafee anti-virus software installed.
3. Not sure of how much Ram or harddisk space available, but I have connected before.
4. Connection type - Cable.
5. Modem Information - Modem Surfboard # SB5100 - Cable Modem.
6. Connected - At home.
7. Version & Java - Limeware version 4.9.7, Java 1.50-11 and Java 6
8. ISP provider - Comcast.
9. Test performed and got the message "Your test worked".
10. Not sharing connections with any other computers or p2p share programs.
11. Yes, I see the firewall in front of the blue ball, but I have connected through windows before.

I have always been able to use Limewire since it was installed. This is the first time I have encountered problems. Is there anyway to stop the "Upgrade to PRO box" from appearing each time you log into Limewire? Any help would be appreciated.
