It's called Offline because you install offline, not over the internet. If the file is downloading very slowly, then imagine how slow it would be trying to instal it whilst it is downloading. Such slow speeds often result in faulty program installations which is why we recommend the "Offline" installer. With the offline installer you don't need to be connected to the internet at the time you actually install it. Only whilst you are downloading the installer.

Check your Add/Remove control panel & only uninstall thru that. You may see a listing like Java or j2se or jre. Don't manually delete program files as they may belong to another program. If you're unsure, get this utility Crap Cleaner as it will remove any files that belong to programs that are no longer needed such as previous versions no longer used.

Default LW starts to load and then stops

I have been using it for months and had very few problems. I was away from the pc for week and when tried to use it started this issue of not opening. I have removed the program and downloaded it again. I have updated Java. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Tony
