I didn't have any incomplete files as I didn't download anything after the uninstall - re-install. But I checked and it was empty.
And I didn't change any performance options when I opened it. I just confirmed it connected and off I went.

I'll look into the other account thing and I'll get back to you.

So.. on another account, it opens up but cannot connect. But we had to download it as they didn't have LW on their account.

Instead of installing twice, you can make a shortcut from the programs folder. Doesn't mater though.

* Go into LW's settings, Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Firewalls, make sure both the listening & connection ports listed are different to LW in all other accounts.

No.. Nick is no relation to me..
To get his issue resolved, he MIGHT should open his own thread listing all his stats and computer type etc etc.

Back to my issue -

No.. we only have one account with LW on it. We had a 2nd user for a while, and we d/l LW to that account and tried it. He was able to open it up, but was unable to connect. We have since deleted that user from the computer.
Do you wish me to create another 'dummy' user and try some things, or do you have enough info to continue?

What is UP with the thread hijackers??

If you wish a problem to be resolved, you should start your own thread as it'll be easier for the helpers to track.
Go out of this thread and click on 'Start Thread' and THEN post all of your details.
Unfortunately, my issue isn't resolved as of yet.. So, any extraneous posting will confuse the helpers.

Now....

The question on the table for the next person to pick up where LotR left off is... Do you have enough information to continue, or should I open a dummy user to d/l LW again and try it?
