I have had limewire pro for over a year and I've been able to download perfect till about 4 days ago. My connection says "turbo charged" but goes down to "excellent" and back up again, so I don't understand why I can't download anything. I'll type something into the search field and click on search, but as soon as I do that, either I don't get a window, which I don't know if that means it's not searching, or it opens a search window with the subject on top, but nothing shows up. The search bar increases till I notice that it's searched completely, but I have no results.
I've tried searching in the different categories and they all end up the same. I don't know what to do to fix it.

i have windows xp and have tried EVERYTHING possible. this is a new problem that i'm having and i dont understand why....please help me...!

Try wondering why's suggestions here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/263558-post6.html

i did that...still nothing changed. Limewire has detected a firewall, would that effect it at all?

Thanks fo the answer!

hi when ever i try to play a song from lw in wmp it comes up with downloading usage rights but still wont play any one no what i can do ????

Hey Badboy

Try downloading & using the VLC media player (Its Free) & recommended by us here
at the limewire forums. VLC player has most all of the codec's built into the player &
plays above average quality for music & excellent quality for video files, (It plays most everything)

If you wish, VLC player can be set as the default player for your computer, to do this
In Limewire Library, highlight a file mp3, avi or whatever you wish then click on
explore, in the bottom left corner.
This will take you to the shared folder outside of Limewire, right click on a file,
choose, open with, highlight VLC player, then tick the box to always use this program
to open this type of file. Repeat this action to include all the file types you wish VLC
to be the default player.
USE THIS LINK IN BLUE (download from the nearest mirror site to you)

P.S. Disable the WMP player from connecting to the web.

Your servant.
Peace.

Cheers.

Hey im having the problem with the licence thing that you were talking about, but im on a mac and the settings that you are talking about im not getting?

See page one for Mac settings; ie: posts # 2, 3 & 4.
You may need to reset popups, then change search options 'after' that. Do not tick show licence warning unless you wish to be warned about it.

Keyboard shortcut for Mac OSX preferences is Command (or apple key) & comma at same time: ⌘ ,
Most but not all OSX programs use this location & shortcut.

Should just use Rhapsody with best buy digital music store, they've got a free 30-day trial that let's you download as many songs as you want; when it expires they don't disappear, you can still play them. Just don't buy anything during the trial or they'll bill you a subscription. When your trial's up, just create a new account with another email address. I think it's better because it's actually legal and you can get 90% of your songs for free.
