I still can't get LW to load! As I said, I reinstalled Java with offline installer, then I downloaded the "Other" version of LW and unzipped and installed that (after removing all traces of previous LW from my computer). Now I still have the same problem - LW gets to the "loading user interface" part, then just disappears. My computer is part of a network (mine is not the main computer) - could this be causing a problem? Also, the main computer and mine have Network Magic - could something from the main computer be preventing LW from loading on my computer? Any thoughts or suggestions would VERY appreciated! Thanks.
