Yikes! What happened?
 

Limewire has been running good since I first loaded it about 2 weeks ago. Now last night and this morning I open up and nothing is there! I shut down and started up the computer again, still nothing. It loads, but my library is empty and songs that were d/ling yesterday are not even there, it is blank.

I have LW free edition. I run Win XP Sp2, with dial up.
I updated Java, still no downloads.

You might try running a search by going to Start/Search/All Files and Folders then type in the name of a file you had in your shared folder it should find your file. Make note of where it is it should be something like C:/Documents and settings/user name/Shared. You can then go to that file and open it all of your files should be there.
