Question Problem with Tools - options not working

Hello, I am having a problem with the trying to open the Options. It flashes on the screen then disappears. I am running a Windows xp with a DSL internet link. I may have corrupted the files when I tried to download limewire from other site. The reason I am trying to get into Options is because everything is saving to my C: drive.

thanks
