It's going to be very difficult to help you because, I feel, that whatever suggestion is made you are unlikely to understand it.

First, the error message: Have you configured Norton Personal Firewall (part of NIS) to allow LW to access (send and recieve info from) the internet?

When you downloaded LW, did you go to the Sun website and download the latest version of Java?

Back in the past I used to suffer from unexpected crashes, these were caused by older versions of my video driver (software that communicates between windows XP and my video/display card). This was eventually cured when I updated my video driver, i.e. downloading the latest copy from the manufacturers website.

I given you three suggestions, if you have any problems understanding them of require further help then get back to me.

I will answer your questions to the best of my ability.

1. I have done nothing with norton IS. I dont seem to have a problem starting downloads or uploads, so I did not think I had to change anything.

2. I only downloaded LW, I know I did not go the sun website.

3. Video driver, I dont know exactly what type of video card i have. It is not a good one I know that.

Last night, I started my download again, I got about 7% before it gave me the firewall error. So i exited Lw, and reopened it and restarted my download at 7%. Before I went to bed I had 14% I closed LW by exiting LW. This morning I checked, LW opened up with my download at 14%. If I had let it download all night, LW would be not responding when I got up. I would have no choice but to turn off my computer without shutting down, losing my download. I dont understand why if I leave it download all night, that it comes un responsive and cause my computer to not runn properly, (cd drive constantly spinning without a cd in it). Thank you
