Hi, I have the same experience as "Angles" - You need to go to "Tools" menu and then "Settings" to change e.g. if you want prefrencing on or off !! Or how many up- and downloads you will accept. In that menu you also change the settings for seach results - if you want only 3 and 4 star seach results or if you want all results and so on. Until 3 days ago I also had problems saveing my new settings. But as you can read in one of the other threads in this forum, a very kind LW user from Holland help me out with that problem. In the menu window that appear when you click "Tools" and then "Settings" there is an "apply" thing in your right down corner, if you can´t see it right away (like me !) then enlage the window with your mousepointer and it will appear right away. Hope you can use some of it - I´m a new LW member myself and I know how it sucks when the damm thing doesn´t work.......
