i seriously, find this odd, since i really can't pinpoint the issue, without an internet connection (starting with extensions off) as i said earlier, it'll fire out without problem...but without a connection to the net its useless. tried to minimize my extension use to just internet only. still nothing.

older versions have worked fine....i wonder if i try to use the os X version what would happen? there's some (very few mind you) os x programs that work on os 9 with an updated carbon lib. or maybe if they are still availble, where can i find an older version of LW? see if there's a difference....
