yuser and bebebe, I'm with you both! Same exact situation, and Yuser, my problem also started right after i installed Netscape 7.2 (i never had Netscape before that).

After that installation, LW just plain won't start up. It worked fine for 1 and a half years, and then i installed Netscape and now...nothin. I tried reinstalling, i checked the Java installation, I've done everything, and nothing works. I spend a lot of time double clicking every icon I can find.

I'm sad that nobody on this forum knows anything about this problem.
