Is there anyone available to help me use this site. I used to know what I was doing. Now, I click on search it brings up a box that says what's new click it- nothing happens. Down the bottom of the screen I have on green bar lit and an icon of the world sitting behind a wall. I'm getting frustrated. I didn't have any of these issues when I was using the site without having paid for. Now I've paid for and have not received what I'm used to. Someone help me please!!!

You are confusing this site. This is a help forum. When you use LW, you are connecting to the Gnutella network, not a site. You will connect to other users just like yourself.

When upgrading to Pro, it's recommended to delete your LW prefs folder; Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If using VISTA see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

The Brick wall represents a firewall of some description. See User Cant Connect - LimeWire as you may need to reconfigure your firewall to allow LW full access.

Edit: I saw your other post & see you have Norton Firewall. When updating Norton or LW, you need to reconfigure the Norton firewall. Reconfiguring Norton Firewall. And make sure your windows firewall is turned off if using Norton. The two of them clash & cause problems.

Thank you for the clarity and the time you took to provide it!

Have a great day!
