Hi, I have a simillar problem but not exactly the same, so I just started a new thread. I hope that's not a bad thing.

When I click the cross-hair in the top right of the window, I have it set to minimise to the system tray. After a few minutes I want to view the progress of my downloads only when moving the curser over the LW icon, it disappears. I then reload LW to find that all my searches have gone and my downloads are having to reconnect. This has never happened before.

I'm not really clued up with all this about updating my java stuff so is there any down to earth solution?

"Birdy" - really like your quote ("A clean house is a sign of a broken computer"), I have something smart to say to my girlfriend when she complains about how my desk makes the room look bad. Cheers
