I am having the same problem as posted in the thread by kimh (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/general-windows-support/63643-removed-lw-but-still-get-popup.html) yet with regards to Sleepless' post on how to fix the problem, I cannot use that particular links instructions because due to the popup window I cannot open any other desktop icon, including IE or the control panel. I removed lw the same way it says to on the link by using the lw uninstall from the start menu, but it kept trying to load every subswquent time I turned it on. Please help, as I would appreciate any ideas on how to fix the problem. Thank you.
