I can't use the buttons for search-destination or -events anymore, "Host not found"

I can't use the buttons for search-destination or -events anymore, "Host not found", and I also can not use a contact-button. What's the matter? I was not in SL for several month, at that time everything was working. The login still works.

 

If I deinstall and reinstall SL again, is my bought stuff (files with clothing, hair, jewelry e.g.) then gone?

I think you need to update to the latest viewer.   There's been a lot of changes over the last few months.  

Don't worry about losing stuff if you remove and re-install SL.  All your inventory will be fetched again from the main server (which may take a little while, but it'll arrive).

Hello Mandana and welcome to SL Forums. Sounds definitely like a connection issue for me. The first you can do is to reboot your modem / router leting it closed for at least 2-3 mins. If you use wireless connection, it is no suggested for SL, avoid it and prefer direct cable connection. Check out also if you accidentally adjust your proxy settings under Preferences --> Setup. If yes, disable everything there and see if that helps. Alternatively, log in with a different viewer. See if something makes any difference.
