Here's how I do mine when I get them.

Copy the object and all layers (you will lose them but it's better'n redoing everything all over)

Go to file and click on 'NewObject'
Paste the copied object (they are now all 1 layer)
Do a save as and rename it to a new drive or partition
Clear all objects in LW

reload new object, mine usually work from this spot on.
