The previous post was me. I dunno what is going on, and never had this problem before.

I can't get it to startup properly. Have been using the free version, but am planning on buying the program, if I can get back into the network.

Thank you for your help.

Re-installing Java may do the trick. Is it still happening? But better to install the Java from your comp, not over the net.
