I'm new - but I do need help. I just downloaded (because it told me to) LW newest Basic - now it will not let me search any music. My old music is still in my Library but it will not search any new music. Help

Mine will not let me search anything, audio, video or program.

I had not been in LimeWire for a while & maybe it changed to a "pay" site & I don't know it. Do you or anybody else know the answer?

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.

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

I found the answer in another post. Thank you for your help.

It is also wise to go to your Filters, to find this go to Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...
