Sorry to hear you problem. We need many more details in order to help you. What's your OS version, connection type, ram, java version, & details about what happens when you open LW. One answer might be the beta which is supposed to connect more easily & there is also a pro version beta 4.1.7, more details here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1

I'm not a windows user so I'm not sure how the uninstaller works. It might be wise to either move or 'copy' BOTH your shared & incomplete folders elsewhere. If you want to maintain your incomplete files, you must keep these files & the download.dat & .bak files that are within the incomplete folder. Perhaps temporarily rename the incomplete folder.

(A) Your shared & LW dwnld folders can be found by going to LW's menu Tools-Options & (1) Saving & (2) Sharing, & these folders names, locations & paths will be listed for you. You can then search your computer for these folders. (B) Also/alternatively, your shared & incomplete folders will also be listed in the LW Library window, so all you need to do is press onto any of the files listed as being within these folders & press the Explore/Browse button & these folders will open up for you.
