Well my problem is I only have 1 green bar in the corner and like 4 red bars and when I try to do a search it says its trying o connect PLEASE HELP!

There are many many reasons you cannot connect, like your list of connections is no good, or your ISP won't let you connect anymore.

You can get a replacement list from here. LimeWire Forums

if that doesn't work, search for the "can't connect" posts, or post the details of the 'weird message.'
