Questions Re: LW Freezing and Download Speed

LOTR--

A quick question regarding the correct Java download I need and the link you posted. Is it Windows Platform - J2SE(TM) Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5 (jre-1_5_0_05-windows-i586-p.exe) ? I think I currently have update 6, so I just wanted to double check. Thanks

It was actually me who suggested to instal the jre-1_5_0_05-windows-i586-p.exe, since I suspect that your machine doesn't like the _06.

LOTR just wanted you to understand that your ISP maybe has started to reduce the amount of data you're able to download (or upload, or both).

As for the Java, make sure you've all other versions deleted from your system, before installing the _05. It's a try my friend........it might work, or it won't....

Sorry about that I wasn't paying attention

Thanks.

Your freezing of LW still buffles me.........you could try to uninstall LW and all Java versions. Then go and download the Java offline installer (JRE) 1.5.0_05:

Install the Java and then reinstall LW. Again, as long as the freezing problem isn't solved, I do not think that it makes sense to concern with the speed problem. It might be that the speed and freeze problem are related, but to find out we have to get rid of the freezing first...

Try my suggestion and post back......

Just another suggestion.......after you tried the Java change and the freezing stops but the speed problem persists.....

Did you check to ensure UPnP is enabled on your router? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...516#post179516 Linksys UPnP setting (click on link)

Depending on your linksys model, it might be worth manual port forwarding it. You'll find your model here http://portforward.com/routers.htm

I'm afraid after following the suggestions you provided I'm still having the same problem. I don't think I mentioned before that after LW stops responding (when I attempt to make changes in Options) I occasionally get a white screen. As I said before I'm puzzled why I was not having these problems when using the free version. Would either trying the beta version or going back to the free version be the best thing to do? Thanks again for your help.

Your mentioning of a white screen gives me another option to look at. Follow the link and read post No. 2 of LOTR, which talks about graphic card issues:
