Did you use the english installer? Some people solve installation probs by using the international installer which uses a different type of installer (InstallAnywhere whereas the english version uses InstallShield.) The 2 disadvantages with the international installer is it's much larger dwnld size (although the program itself is the same size), & it installs the Java 1.3 version.

Alternatively try out the LW beta 4.1.7. More info can be found here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1
