Default download problems (need more sources and not fake files)

Hi guys: I'm new kid in town, thanks for the welcome! My problem is this: I was using LimeWire Basic (free) for a long time and it went ok (in spite of the limitations), so now that I desided to change for LimeWire Pro (v4.12.11), it's been a whole week I haven't been able to download a single song, search is perfect; I find what I want very fast and n' lots, but no downloads, I tried the Basic again but not any more like before, actually I rolled back the Pro but still very slow even with turbo speed...what's this all about??? HELP PLSSSS!!! I'm very sad...
Oh!! I missed to post this: my LimeWire settings are the default, thanks.

Can you supply these details please....
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-help-you.html

So can you currently download ?? Do the files drop down to the download window but go to need more sources ??
Just check Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your intention, but looks like we gotta go deeper on this problem...as I said, my settings are set to default, so the “License Warning” is unchecked already...here is another clue: yes, some times I come to get some downloads but…if I compare as it used to be before, now I’m only getting the 10% of the 70 or 80% I used to download; even with the telephone line, now I’m using a wireless card (sierra) with this Pro version and it’s all the time “need more source, need more source…” I don’t really know what to do …I do appreciate any help.

Here is my system details as you riquired:
laptop Hp Pavilion zv5000
Pentium 4, 2.66 GHz
512 MB of RAM, 40 Gbs on hard drive
Windows XP SP2

Hi!! I'm very very sorry for my delay to reply you; I didn't have internet connection in these last weeks, so I haven't been able to do anything else...any way, now I'm back and I'll start by doing all the steps you suggested me, then I'll let you know about the result. Thank you so much for your help and good intentions in being patient.
