i have windows xp and just got the latest version of limewire but i don't get any search results for anything I type in, spy sweeper has been disabled. Please help,

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's ticked , 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.

If LW Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details.

Thank you
 

;);););););) thank you Australia for helping me get my LW to connect. I had it awhile back, it worked fine. Then I deleted Java by mistake, reinstalled the new version when I reinstalled LW and the new version didn't work. 5 works beautifully. btw, was in Sydney in Feb/Mar and love your country. Have an African Grey parrot and loved the cockatoos that fly wild. Good day mate ;)
