I had a similar problem when I download a new version - it kept crashing, I don't know why. And the settings were gone each time. But once I managed to close LW completely before it crashed, my settings stayed and it stopped crashing.
But now I have another new version and it's crasing with a javaw error - I'll copy the error if it does it again and post it - see if anyone know why.
