Ok folks I tried Bearshare and it works with out an issue..... So I would assume its an issue with Java and LW...Can anyone give me some ideas on this issue???

I'm not sure if it'll help at all, but see whether any advice here makes a difference: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) - Java programs freeze my computer

Are you having any problems or error messages during your Java installations?
You can verify your Java installation at this page: Download Java software for Windows from Sun Microsystems

Unless someone else has a better idea, I'd suggest asking at the Java forum. Try this section: Runtime Environment
Even though it says 'developer forum', you might get some answers there & I really don't know where else to send you
