I don't know what you could have done (if anything) to cause this...

Try deleting the preferences in Limewire (while LW is completely closed). That will reset everything to default. You will have to configure your content filters, speed, etc. again. There are instructions in the following link:

hi,

i didn't actually think that writing the number would work but it has!!! yipee.

but i'm still confused as why the number itself wont appear, i know i've solved the problem but it's still doing my head in.

put everythink back to default setting but that didn't help, the numbers still doesn't appear.

it looks like it going be a mystery and i'll never know why, but at least i can actually search better now,

thanks everyone for your help,

samantha
