Ahh!! Joefuf.
Sorry for the late reply, My computer power unit blew up.
You never mentioned Norton, I thought I had a link but cant find it, So if you go to the Norton web site, Norton has a brute force uninstaller that will get rid of
all the crap left behind in registry.
Also if you have been trying all sorts of P2P programs, some can interfere with
L/W, So you could copy the installers for these programs to folder on desktop.
Then Do a search for files of these programs & delete them, torrant programs also Don't delete the folder on desktop!!. LoL.
e Tomi is a scam of L/W not a legit app, n I would not be surprised if L/W had
found a way of blocking it.
I don't know if its relevant but bit commit interfered with my L/W.
If the Norton bits left behind is the problem, when you have cleaned everything
you may have to clean then reinstall both java & L/W again.
Let us know how you get on.
Peace.

Well I have bittorrent and it has never been a problem... I released and renewed my ip just in case and updated the settings on my router... then i did the installation of the files:

java_ee_sdk-5_02-windows

and

jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p-s

(first i uninstalled java though... don't worry)

then i reinstalled LW... same message... no change...

I may not have mentioned it before, but i have another computer. Its a laptop that runs on the same wireless network so when I realized that LW runs on it, it occured to me that the router could not be the problem to any degree...

If I installed or uninstalled something that I should/ should have not

!!!Please tell me!!!

If the Java was the problem (which I assume is the next direction you will take me in) give me a direct link to where I need to download the file or files so I don;t make a mistake!!!

Thanks,

Jeff

The extra info you just gave me, tells me you have 2 problems.
One, You should only have one version of java running in Add or remove Programs, so delete all java you see in (Add or remove Programs) & use this
link to get the "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6"

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Next, as you have TWO computers on one connection, You must make 2 diffrent static IP's first then, in L/W 2 diff listening ports n portfaward both
Sorry routers are not my bag.
Peace.

Which one do you mean specifically? (I want to get this fixed and last time I got the wrong one):

1. JDK 6u1: https://sdlc4a.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...047D12F790B904

2. JDK 6 with Java EE https://sdlc6d.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...6FDB46D91D404D

3. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1 https://sdlc6d.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...3D41CD6CBF6A2E

The one I will try first it number 3, but 6Pac or you gave me a static IP link anyway so I am good with that aspect.

No go...

I used the static IP site 6_Pac gave me and it didn't do anything. I installed the java from the softpedia link, restarted, reinstalled LW, added the static IP and ran it. No go. Then I restarted again and same result....

Joefuf Hi.
This is the right one,& the official site, USE the OFF LINE installer.
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Delete all other java, Before install.

Have you created a static IP for both computers ? if not it wont work
Routers are not my strong subject, I suggest you start a new thread &
put in the title, (How do I portfaward 2 computers,) on ONE connection
Peace.

Well I did everything the way you said to... I called up Linksys and asked them to guide me through the Static IP process for good measure... I installed the offline installer (you gave me the name of the online installer, so I did what would make sense and used the offline one) Then I reinstalled LW... No luck. ..........

So... I don't know what my options are right now. I have my laptop which works perfectly and is also on a static IP and will run LW. My desktop has removed Norton like you advised, is now using static IP, and has windows firewall off. Still, it won't run...

I did notice that my wireless network connection knows it is not being firewalled or blocked, so there is no firewall in the problem. I went through my running processes again and found some interesting ones though that may or may not be a problem:

AOLssc.exe --- AOL's security program, but it isn't in the tray anymore like it used to be so I figured it was shut down

MpfService.exe --- Mcaffe personal firewall service?

MpfTray.exe --- Macaffee personal firewall tray?

SpySweeper.exe --- SpySweeper

SpySweeperUI.exe - - SpySweeper

Could any of those be the problem?

An idea I had in the middle of this whole thing was that you and I could set up a time for us to use a "remote control" program and I would let you remotely control my computer for a time. Then we would know that everything is being done as it should. If you are up for this option, let me know, give me a week or so, and I can find a program for us to use.

Well, well, well...

I gave up hope... In my case this usually means that I do drastic things and don't care about the outcome until I am just plain screwed.

So I went lookign on a basic google search with the exact line of the error I got. Then I came across a few people using a program that managed their virus protection. I thought, "gee I seem to be having a problem related to the sort. Why don't I try doing something like they did?"

So I did.

For all your cases like this in the future, reccommend "Security Task Manager 1.7"

Edit: This software has a 30 day free trial.
*NO mention of cracks on the forum*

Yeah I used pirated software to get this done...

So I went and looked at all the things there that matched the processes I just told you...

Mcafee was the problem...

Somehow (probably my mom) downloaded a mcafee program which I deleted the program of.

BUT I DIDN'T DELETE THE PROCESSES!!!

So I used the Security Task Manager to remove Mcafee

I started up LW and thought how no matter what I was getting this done and it started loading!!!

I couldn;t believe it; I was laughing! This was the best thing I did all day!!!

Thanks a billion mickjapa. Your guidance up to the stuff I did was perfect and saved me so much time.

A month long quest comes to an end.

Thanks again and I hope to help you out some time...

Remember the program is called "Security Task Manager"

It is perfect for this stuff. I will find any open thread and put it in there for people struggling like I was.

See you aroud buddy!

Hi Joefuf.
Can I just say, In my experience Cracked programs are usually the beginning of
many problems, In this day n age, there are so many Open source Free programs that can be used safely, its not worth it.
What I use for security is Webroot Spysweeper, Webroot Desktop Firewall,
AVG anti virus,(free one) & Peer Guardian (free) These programs all run with no conflict together.
Security Task Manager, is in my opinion a good tool so after the trial runs out
consider buying it.
Also I would think of reinstalling your XP-OS to clean & get rid of all the errors
That cracked programs cause.
Thanks for the info on, Security Task Manager sounds like a good tool.
Hope it all goes well for you.
Peace.
