I still do now know what happened. I had to put a registry fixer on it and ended up deleting the whole program before I could get it back on. Now I get an error saying "We have received many warnings of viruses and trojans pretending to be updates to LimeWire in your search results. You can only be sure a search result is direct from Lime Wire, LLC if it has a in the quality column.
If you have run such an update in the past, LimeWire may be corrupted. You must update with the current official version available here to guarantee you are using the latest official LimeWire.
Then it asks for me to redownload and pay again for the program. What is up with that?
