It's going to be very difficult to help you because, I feel, that whatever suggestion is made you are unlikely to understand it.
First, the error message: Have you configured Norton Personal Firewall (part of NIS) to allow LW to access (send and recieve info from) the internet?
When you downloaded LW, did you go to the Sun website and download the latest version of Java?
Back in the past I used to suffer from unexpected crashes, these were caused by older versions of my video driver (software that communicates between windows XP and my video/display card). This was eventually cured when I updated my video driver, i.e. downloading the latest copy from the manufacturers website.
I given you three suggestions, if you have any problems understanding them of require further help then get back to me.
