I've searched a bit here but haven't seen what Internet Explorer 6 Settings in XP Home SP2 [Sony Pent 4 laptop] need to be enabled for LW Basic to work.

I wasn't able to begin the download [the most recent version, I believe 4.12.6 ? on Aug 29, 06] until I discovered LW requires Javascript enabled. [My understanding is JS is highly vulnerable so I keep it Disabled, as w/ most Settings in Security, Custom Level.]

Then I noticed LW adding Java and I wondered if this is because I have Java disabled. [LW's install of Java was apparently successful, it shows in Control Panel.]

My install of LW Basic was apparently successful according to the messages it produced...It created a Short Cut on my desktop.]

But when I click the Shortcut, it seems to try to re-install and wont connect...I see a crawler across the bottom of the dialog box..."adding HTML," etc.

I have Comcast cable, no router. As far as I know, I gave adequate permissions from Zone Alarm Basic, checking the Remember box. [I have Microsoft Firewall disabled, and use only Zone.] But I didn't see in Zone's list of Programs the one LW said should be given permissions: zaw or paw something?

I Uninstalled LW Basic from Control Panel. I still have the Java it installed.

Thank you for your help.
