I was on here a few months ago and tried the various patches and suggestions by the moderators.

The only one that works is the the clean uninstall then re-install of LPE. Nut this will work on for this first time is opened.

Then the old will not connect issue resurfaces unless I go through the same process again.

SO it does not seem to be a patch/firewall/virus software issue, but something else. But what? Any ideas? I did for good measure download the LOTR March patch and copied to my pref folder but this did not do the trick either.

If no one has any ideas does anyone have a link to an older LW edition that is downloadable and works (although when it works LPE would be my pref)

Thanks
