Well ... I could suggest a couple of things.

If you have a Registry Cleaner it would be well worth cleaning the muck out. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...232#post121232
Also do a system maintenance & check it with your utilities & defragment your HDD.

Then I'd reinstall both LW & Java starting with Java. But install both from the computer. Don't install over the net; downld the installers to your computer & then install. Reboot after installing LW.
