yup you were right, i did delete the LW folders, and then when i went to run it again, it had me reistall it. i have just been tring to turn over ever rock to get this to work.
about the firewall issue, my pc came with a trial macafee on it, but i deleted it,and it isnt listed on my list of programs, but it is still on my firewall screen,there isnt a way for me to change it either. could that be an issue?
