Hi, can somebody understand what's going on???
As I said in a previous post I bought LW Pro 4 (no 4.5) for Mac Os 9, and it was extremely slow.
As you suggested I started reading the forum on connections - where I lost myself, but found the tip to get faster response from the software (declicking auto connect at startup). The first time it got really better, but a second time never happened again... The software got stuck up at "Connecting..." for hours...
After several days, several other installations - always without success - today I tried to remove everything from my hard disk, and download again LW BASIC, and it works!!!

In the meantime I found that in LW Pro:
1. the uninstaller actually leaves some files on the hard disk
2. the file err.txt says what follows, maybe it is of some interest for you:
