 ISP providers I have WOW Cable and have called them because I am unable to connect to LW, I have tried everything the forums have suggested- My provider will only say they do not support LW and I have to subscribe to their music site- This seems illegal- Are their any other WOW users here experiencing difficulity? Thank You-  |

OS version? Windows Vista Home Premium 2. What firewalls you have? Norton, with an exception to allow LW 3. How much ram? Not sure 4. Hard Disk space available? 170.67 GB 5. Connection type? Cable 6.
