Hi there thanks for the imput, I have disabled the defender firewall. I actually think it was done automatically through Trend, the way I did it was to disable various protection through Trend.
I now have the problem of remenants of a older version of Limewire preventing me using the EXE file, I have gone through add/remove but I need to know the safest method to get the rest of it. Ps My Toshiba A300 is unstable at the best of times although it is NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas??????????
