Hi,

Im using LimeWire basic for 3 months, and everything has worked fine as far as one day I search for a song or sht else. When i try to search a file(by artist OR by song name) I get no results. It doesn't SAY no results, the results page just stays blank.

I already have downloaded losts of files by using LW, but right now i do nothing.

Can someone help me?

Thx..

Open limewire and go to Tools > Options > +Searching > Basic, then for "Maximum Searches" set it to 5. If it's at 0 you will get a blank screen when you try to search.

Did it, done that. I'm set at "5" and LW still doesn't display any results. See my prev msg -- the bestest, fastest, onliest, fix I've found is to uninstall and reinstall LW. I've had this prob 3, 4, maybe 5 times in the last year or 2. Just one of those glitches.

So I stick by my guns - un- and then reinstall LW.

i did so, but nothing happened..everything is same a couple of blank search pages..
i think i will not be able to use LW and unfortunately will uninstall it..

then what will it be?

Can you tell us what ISP (internet service provider) you use?

Try a test, downld a magnet link from this site http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
Tell us what happens.

Do a search for let it be or beatles & see if you get results.

my isp is pcpartner

i did the test and it said queued and then need more sources.

I have forwarded ports and i still get no search results

I am so frustrated that i don't know what to do anymore

wldnfunguy,
see my post dated 3 days before this one. doesn't matter what ISP u use. try uninstalling and then reinstalling LW. Works for me. Everytime. Several times. Don't know why. Irritating? Yes. Easily remedied? Also yes.

it can dl any magnets from magnetmix...

i think the problem is not related with dl process, the problem is about viewing search results..because LW is unable to display results..

what do you think?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.) & see if that makes any difference. You should make a note of any important settings because you'll need to reset your options after deleting the prefs folder.
