Glad to hear there's an improvement.

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire link gives an example of how you can find your LW preferences. Yes this can be deleted b/c it affects how LW behaves. Next time you open LW it will create new preferences folder. And it will ask you setup questions again. Doing this can often fix problems with LW. But only do it when LW is closed.
