Minimum files shared 100 MP3's ( I swap them out weekly) That way they are not always the same. I put about 75mbs in applicaions in the shared folder and there to I change out weekly. No video shared. It is not an issue of just simply waiting for the shared folder to load in which is stalling LW. As a test I went down to about 20mbs total shared to see if that helped LW but no change. I give it 30 minutes or more to load and have every other no essential program closed and no help. I would be happy with the older version of LW except I went and paid for the upgraded version and wish to use with it is I paid for. I feel if I do not get it to work I just lit $40.00 on fire.
