What's wrong with LW (not opening, opening but not connecting at all, connected but firewall icon showing etc) & which OS are you using?

Only if you post some more details about your problems. It's not possible to get help with a description like that.

And BTW Birdy isn't a smart guy, but she is a smart gal

It could be one of two things. Either you have gone past the 6 months technical support Limewire.com offers, which means the email address has been erased from their database. For issues like that, I would suggest going to LimeWire - Open Source P2P File Sharing and asking there.

This is just the Limewire section of the gnutella forums and unless someone affiliated with Limewire sees this, you can't get much of an answer here.

Or you were scammed by some rogue website and didn't buy it from Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « . If that is the case I would suggest the open discussion forum here, which has threads about dealing with scammers.

So LW searches but no results show??? Is LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)?
Providing LW's connected with more than one green bar, 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.
Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If LW isn't connected, you need to say so.
