Hi Lord of the Rings,

Thanks for the post and suggestions/links therein ( I read it all).
I had a bit of a job finding the '.limewire' file you refer to (in my case it is in the same folder as application data. not the application data folder).
In any event it was unsuccessful.

I wasnt prompted to redo my prefs...so maybe it wasnt the same folder.

It is really curious as even the panels re LM pro and the tip dont have white buttons around the words close/later etc.

Happy to try anything else (within reason hehe), that can be understood by a PC novice...

ciao for now
