Limewire 2.7 Pro issues

I run Limewire from my E drive. Always have. Everytime I start Limewire 2.7 Pro it writes a Limewire directory and a Limewire Shared directory (that are empty) on my C drive and changes my settings to reflect this as my shared drive. Since it is empty I am not sharing anything. It also changes all my other settings. I reset everything, shut down Limewire and when I starts it again it does the same thing.

Often when I try to download a file it immediately shows 100% loaded and advises it cannot move the file to my shared directory. The file is in fact a zero byte file.

Third issue - On searches that are returning a lot of hits the entire screen flashes - not just a flicker but a very distracting annoying flash.
