Thanks well comodo I just uninstalled it for the time, and I deleted the folder and nothing still. The versions of java I had was 6 but I remove and now have 2 instances of java. java 5.0 updates 11 and 12. Note: I have 2 more computers in my home running xp with no problem but this started after the update of LW. I sure hope you can help. This seem to be a common thing.
