Search Problems
 

I have bee with LW for awhile now and just this week I have noticed that I haven't been able to search for files. I am looking for music and I get zero returns. Nothing has changed from ISP or PC end of things. I am using DSL and Windows XP. Its not just one artist but a number that I have tried. Please help.

i have the same problem!! i know you just have to mess with something in the options but i can't remember what it is. someone help us please!!

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
