When I run LW, my internet connection goes away. I can only ever get LW to connect up to 3 bars, but I don't get any search results. Then if I try to run Explorer, it won't connect to the web. I got LW to connect to 4 bars once, and was able to download a couple files, but then it disconnected again. This is a new computer with Windows Vista. I had LW on my old computer and had no problems with it. Any ideas on what this problem could be?

You need to post your system details: System details - help us to help you

If your using Mcafee uninstall it because it's known to have problems with LimeWire. Replace it with avast, it's a good(FREE) one.

Also uninstall java via the add/remove programs and download java 6(JRE) using the offline installer: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

For the problem of no search results, try using PeerGuardian 2. It works like a mini firewall while your using p2p apps. They maintain block lists that block unwanted ip's, the probable source of the zero search results and probably why I haven't had that problem. Worth a try anyways .
