What can remedy this? What was originally messed up? BTW thanks for anyone that replies to this.

Have you tried reinstalling Java? Remove your previous Java version & then reinstall using the manual (offline) installer

If you need to reinstall LW then use it's offline installer too

See if that fixes things:)

Thanks for the help birdy its up an running now.
