Okay here goes...I just bought this computer 2days ago..I've never had a computer b4 so this is all foreign stuff to me.I see people talking about this and that but I have no idea what they're saying so if you already posted an answer I'm sorry for repeating but I need this in lamen terms. Anyway, I was able to down load Limewire but when I go to access it shows me the tips and when I go to search a song It pops up saying that "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network." Then no downloads appear. Any suggestions...I've been online and I know it's not b/c of that.Now here's my info. I don't even know how to begin to find this so I'm just copying off the box.Forgive me
