Windows is a multi-tasking OS. If LW cannot play nice with other apps, then it is useless to me. I'm running LW Pro. I was using Shareazaa before I bought LW Pro and I could surf the internet, instant message and get my e-mail, even play Everquest while Shareazaa was running.
I think it is partially a connection sharing issue (LW hogs the connection) but I don't know how to fix it. I browsed through the settings of LW, but I couldn't find any way of limiting bandwith use that was very discrete. (There were four settings, if i remember right, and the next setting lower than my connect speed was dial-up speed. Ugh Shareazaa has a setting where you can tell it what percentage of your bandwidth to use.)

I would start by start/run/type msconfig/startup tab/disable all/apply/ok/restart/

As I said, if LW cannot play nice in a multi-tasking environment, then it is not the correct app for me. I'll try it for trouble shooting, but it really isn't an option for a permanent solution.

I might try this, if I can remember what I've changed that I'll want to change back, and if I can think of why it would help. I don't think that it will have any effect because everything starts out okay and then gets worse.
Thanks for your response and ideas.
