I have read the message:

<<Here's some points for helping to fix LW if it's not working properly>>

Would this apply to my problem as follows?
I use WINDOWS ME and NO Firewall. It takes 16 minutes for L/W to open and settle down from clicking on the Icon to being able to start using the program.
Even then, clicking on any tab or button takes minutes to work. Whilst L/W is open my PC goes down to a dead crawl. Even closing L/W takes ages.
I have read the message quoted and it seems very complicated. I'm scared of mucking up my PC. Please advise.
Alan.
