>>If you are having trouble connecting, Follow the Directions to the letter<<

Follow what directions??? I see no directions, and if I do, its all about xp, which I don't have. I have ME, but I'm sure its not much different. And for the love of God, where do I go to disable the firewall? I have no idea why I can't get connected and it's very frustrating. I have the newest Java because I just downloaded it yesterday.
