I got two new ideas.

1. I found this other site that had a guy with the same problem... he had 2 processes running on his computer which I have also:

NAVAPSVC.exe
NPFMNTOR.exe

supposedly they are both from Norton, but I deleted Norton a few weeks ago... I don't see how that could be the problem, but looking back on the timelines of when my internet went down and me losing LW, I may have tried to delete it at the same time. Now the folders for both versions I had are still in program files, but nothing runs anymore because I removed it. Could this be the cause?

2. The other theory I had was that I am using eTomi Pro, an offshoot of the network I am having trouble connecting to. Maybe this is my problem? For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, eTomi Pro uses the same network for files and sharing and has the same interface as LW. It is probably a similar copy, but still a different program to some degree.
