Usually, the kind of error that you posted is a Java problem. But maybe uninstalling Trend Micro has cause some conflict somewhere - I honestly wouldn't have a clue about that. I've never used any Trend Micro security.

You said in an earlier post that Yahoo Messenger was also not working - is that still out?

Shut down LW, make sure that it's properly closed (check in Task Manager) & then just for a minute turn off XP's firewall. Control Panel > Windows Firewall > check the Off radio button > ok.
Once you've had the popup warning you that Win firewall is off, start LW & see if it connects. Give it one or two minutes to connect - if nothing happens in that time then tuen the XP firewall back on.

Don't leave the XP firewall off - this is just a test to see whether LW will connect.

Yes I had to go thru the whole set up process again

Messenger is actually working now..I had to change the Proxy pref in the connection settings. Same for Cute ftp 8

Ive actually turned off the Windows Firewall this whole time...

=[ Its not looking good huh.

I feel like somehow the settings in Trend Micro were deleted with the program and somehow new ones cant take their place (if that makes sense)

If there was a way for me to get into LW pref's and change the connecting info....?

Oh and in the registry...there are Trend Micro Drivers that wont delete..I may go into regedit thru safe mode and see if I can delete them..ill check back if that doesnt work...
