I hope your back is healing. The above behavior sounds very strange.
Every config file I've seen written by LW writes the plug-in lines with
full paths. (But I'm using NT....) I'll check this out on my Windows
install, but I think that's the same.....
Perhaps you could delete all of the lines, change the content dir to some
other directory and reinstall... (he says thinking this will write full
path names). I know that LW won't overwrite a plugin line if you attempt
to load a plugin that is already loaded (from wherever).
