The pref folder can become corrupted and cause LW not to function correctly. Deleting it(while LW is completely shut down) forces LW to create a new one and that should fix any corrupt files in that folder. Kinda like hitting a reset button.

Deleting it changes all the settings in LW back to the default, so if you've made any changes to the options, you should make a note of them before deleting the pref folder. That way you can put them back the way you had them.

Unhappy

Hi,
I just got Vista and am having some problems with LW. I originally changed my saved folder when I first downloadedd LW and everything was fine. Then today after downloading a few mp3's they are nowhere to be found. They appear in my LW library but when I search for them on my computer they are not there. I just went through these steps and deleted the LW folder in Roaming and when I re-started LW I had to re-set all my preferences, and once again I re-set my save folder. My files still aren't saving to my computer but are downloading. Any ideas??
Thanks!!
