I Am getting sick and tired of this, but I tried (I guess) everyting that birdie recomended to no avail; I even tried another one that were recomended and the same thing: no errors, just start, opens and then closes, leave an icon on the taskbar, but when I go there it dissapears. Any more ideas- solutions to this??? I have been reading a lot in the forum and tried differente versions of Java and LW, trying to install in a 3.0, Xp PRO, SP2 Machine.
