When I first downloaded and installed LW, it directed me to and downloaded and installed Java. I thought Java was already on my system, perhaps just not the correct version for LW.
Has anyone asked the developers (i.e. LW support) about this issue? I haven't been around long, but it seems like an awful lot of folks are having install issues.
Hmmm, it isn't just with 4.9.29. I just upgraded to 29, which you've think would add on like a patch, but calls for an uninstall of the previous install. It's working just fine.
Resources are a big issue with installs. I just installed something called Registry Fix (not free, or even cheap) but it allowed me to go through my start up list (which almost never show up in the start up folder anymore, but are salted around the system.) It was nice to shut down things that were loaded on my system when I got it, that I don't subscribe to or use, but put themselves in start up for a quick start. Bye-Bye.
If, and that's a big IF, you recognize the files listed under "processes" in your task manager, you can close a lot of those before installing LW. But don't touch a thing unless you're sure. Even if you're sure and still new to computers, ask someone here what that long list of files is and are. And don't touch systray.exe, Explorer.exe or taskmgn.exe.
I should get off this before I write a novel.

And since my nickname seems to have disappeared, I'll use it in the text of the message.
