 Limewire not working? (no search results) I have been successfully using Limewire for sometime with no problems. A couple of days ago it was working fine. Today, the search feature does not return anything on a variety of songs/artists. Is there a problem?  |

| I finally re-installed LW and it works. I was not getting "connection" bars at the bottom left hand portion of the page. Also, I temporarily disabled my firewall. One or both worked for me. I logged in today and it was slow to connect but did finally connect. Good Luck! |

| 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 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's not connected, try the fixes here. If LW Will Not Connect If nothing there helps, post back with your system details  |

Fact is, there are almost NO programs that you want to have 'start' or 'launch' on Startup !!! 'Protection programs', yes... Auto-connect to the internet ? NO Auto-start ANY programs that need an internet connection to load properly ? NO (Accept for protection apps) Think about this... You start your computer - Operating System starts to load... That does NOT mean that your OS has FINISHED loading before > Some applications start trying to connect in order to perform auto-updates... A p2p 'client' starts up and tries to connect to hosts... Same p2p client also tries to start incompleted downloads... MAYBE your anti-virus/firewall program(s) have started by now... MAYBE NOT... There is a LOT MORE stuff going on, believe it ! No matter what your desktop may look like after 30 seconds or a minute, you need to wait... Wait at least 3 minutes after starting or restarting... At least ! Then you can use your machine... NOT before ! Boring, huh ? So is having to deal with viruses and maybe having to do a CHKDSK routine using your original Windows Install disk ! Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) is a common event for those who allow auto-start and auto-connect junk to run on their machines ! NEVER enable 'Connect On Startup' or 'Load On Startup' with ANY filesharing program !  It is an absurdity that such an option is even offered...
