Sorry I took a while to answer, for some strange reason I did not see your post until now.

I'm a little confused. You say you are running Windows 7 but the error report says Windows XP. I will presume you are running Windows 7 and come across the recent Java update issue. But then, the Java version reported in the error report says Java 6.

Your problem might be related to http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...ting-java.html
ie: re-install 32-bit Java but download the Off-line version and choose Run as Administrator to open the installer. Does not matter if you normally use 64-bit Java, seems the installing of the 32 bit version last fixes the update issues. But make sure they are set to Run as Administrator.

The Java site's 64-bit Java install auto-links to their Java 7 download page. So keep that in mind. If you installed this version then see the advice above.

* It's my guess there's a small chance you have 64-bit Java 7 installed, and 32-bit Java 6 installed. It's all 6's and 7's to me. You can check via your Java Control Panel. Click on the Java tab and View button. This will show the versions installed. If you have Java 7 installed then you have a choice of disabling it or seeing http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post368753

If you are actually using Windows XP, you will need to download the Java 6 offline installer: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/downlo...BundleId=69512 and use your Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs CP to remove any Java 7 version. LW 5 versions will not run on Windows XP if any version of Java 7 is installed.

Edit: OK according to a previous post of yours, you are indeed using Windows 7. So it's my guess it's the Java update issue. And you may have two versions of Java installed, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit Java.




This is a totally irrelevant & totally off-cuff comment, but I just have these thoughts that since Java's ownership changed hands, things have become problematic. I see something in the way the website now works that reflects an attitude of theirs. . But on the other hand, LW 5 and Java 7's main issue is the fault of the original LW 5 Windows version developers. This same issue is not showing up for either Linux or MacOSX LW 5 users of Java 7. The LW developer in control of the LW 5 Windows development ... I won't mention names. He disliked this forum unlike some other LW devs. But his competence is now a black mark on his A$$ and heck how an ugly dark tattoo is hard to get rid of. lol
