Go to START menu/ MY Computer/ Documents and Settings/ Click on user name (example: John Doe). You will see the LW folder / delete it.

Then Start up LW.

A "tip of the day" pop up box will appear.

Disable/unmark the box in the corner.

Then head up to TOOLS / Advanced/ System Start up/ disable or unmark the box in the corner.

Then restart LW. This should work for XP. If not, This is all the info I can give you that worked for me. This pop-up box is preventing the system from connecting, so it needs to be disabled. Good luck!
