Just installed Limewire for the 3rd time. Have used it successfully the previous twice over the years but this time I start a search for Audio - Artist James ***/Jackson *** (tried both) and nothing happens - just the whirring cursor in the middle of the screen. I've had this problem before and it was a simple solution - wish I could remember it! Help!

thanks and regards

Are you sure you're connected? With 5 blue bars bottom of screen?

Try step 2 (Deleting LW prefs folder) here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...ng-should.html though this will mean you will lose the word filters & some other settings if you used the setup provided by the forum. Also if you used the Security blocklist, you will need to re-install that.

Hello LotR

You helped me with exactly the same problem a few years ago when I had XP but this one is more complicated. I'm using Windows 7 now.

"Are you sure you're connected? With 5 blue bars bottom of screen?"

No I see no bars.

"Try step 2 (Deleting LW prefs folder) here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...ng-should.html .."

Done. I deleted the Limeware folder from AppData, right clicked on the LW icon and 'run as administrator' after setting the compatibility setting to 'windows 7'

I had earlier installed Java 1.6 so I re-installed it clicking on your 'offline' link, but I still don't see how the hell you can specify 'run as administrator' - right click does nothing.

So all in all I've got nowhere. This is my 3rd installation of LimeWire over the years and this is the only time I've achieved sweet FA with it.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Did you get my previous response to this message? I can't find it anywhere. I only sent it 10 minutes ago.

No I do not have any blue bars - they're greyed out - and it just says 'connecting' but never does.
