BoTtLeE : Without knowing all of what you have tried, I can only suggest uninstalling, run an anti-virus scan, and install an earlier version. If you comp is running slow from the time windows starts try this : use ctrl+alt+del and shut down LW with that (if you can), if it continues to activate itself, restart you comp and run it in "safe mode" and uninstall it then. If it still gives you trouble, well, you're still skunked, kuz thats all i know how to do. Best wishes. Hope this will help *(still with no sign of true solutions in sight)
