i set my language prefs back to US english, restarted, deleted LW prefs and then relaunched... still crashes...

when i saw the java crash logs i also though about reinstalling the updaate - downloaded it - reinstalled and still no luck...

trying to figure out this prob out has consumed my whole morning so far... its quite frustrating - i'd just like to figure it out and get everything to work properly (have had other probs with OS X and apps). have to get some work done now... can't play around anymore 8-) i appreciate the help - if you think of anything else let me know.
