![]() You need to tell us what firewalls you're using, who your ISP is & the brand & model of your modem &/or router ![]() Try this version of Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install the new one.

![]() AO firewalls? How about disabling them & using XP firewall instead & configure it to allow LW full access. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) Beware of AOL security. It has a spyware utility that thinks P2P programs are spyware & will either remove them or remove parts of the program & result in it not working properly. Put LW on its safe list or else, use a safe one like Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE) |
