Ok, now someone else's problem is getting fixed through my thread. I'm still at a loss as to what to do. I have tried reconfiguring Norton Firewall, deleted all permissions for LW in the firewall, restarted and I still get the same message. When I try to restart LW I don't get a message asking if I want to allow or permit LW to connect, I only get the message that says LW couldn't initialize and start and this is usually due to a firewall issue or loopback problems.
