Help Please!! (1 connection bar)

[MP76]

Hi Guys!!

Apologies if this has been mentioned before,

But I am having problems. Every time I go to search a song or file, that is all fine, the blue box comes up at the top and it moves across as the system is searching, HOWEVER nothing is actually come up in the box for me to click and download ( if u catch my drift)

I think this might possibly be a connect problem because in the bottom left corner of my page I only have one green bar, my internet connection has no problems at all and is excellence

How can I get a better connection?? Or is that not the problem?? It is strange because I installed it last night and downloaded about 5 or 6 songs without any problems

Thanks for any help, please do try and keep it simple tho! I cant claim to be much of a computer whizz!!

Thanks Guys,
