OK. LW is not connecting anymore on my computer, I get an eternal 1 bar starting connection message. I have done many things I've seen posted but nothing seems to work, also when it does connect I use it for 10 minutes, start downloading (no more than 5 downloads at the same time) and the one click and the eternal forever lasting pinwheel.-... I always have to force exit LW and use it again and so on.. my computer is getting tired of this and me too. I bought PRO thinking iit would work better than the free version but It only gets worse. I already did the preferences folder thing, etc... I hope someone can help. Here is my system info.
