I have had limewire for a while, using it at friends cause I only had dial up at home, recentaly got high speed at home, and upgraded to the newest version. It said it installed properly, but when I do a search the tab stays blank and so does the window that displays the search results. If I allow my pointer to rest on the search window, and the comment box opens and i move the pointer around I can see the search results that were under that portion of the box. This always seems to happen in the pin stripes skin mode, and the other skins seem to also have problems like only displaying half the search button with the other half of the button just one solid color. I am using OS 10.2.8, and haven't made any recent updates to software, besides the limewire upgrade and itunes upgrade (and this was done before the LM update, and my previous version worked just fine). I'd like to use the latest version of LM, but will settle to downgrade back to my old version if anyone knows how to do that. Any help would be appreicated.

I could send you an older version if needed. You'd need to send my a message (right-click on my username & choose message) & include your email.

But the problem with skins in OS 10.2 is well known now. Pinstripes definitely has problems with the newer versions as do one or 2 others. Keep trying other skins. Perhaps download more skins from LW's support site.

Which version of LW were you using before without problems?

Also, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
The reason I'm asking is because with high speed internet comes connection modems/routers with internal NAT firewalls.
