I am not sure what the issue is. I go load live, the screen pops up then the computer says that it is shutting down the window.

Bummer man, I remember when the Java applet stopped working for me at work too. Really hindered how many games I could get in during the week. Made me actually have to start investing some of my 'own time' into getting my games in.

Have you tried a different browser? Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, safari? Or is it locked down so much that you cannot load anything on it?

I have tried both on internet explorer (which shuts down the window LVIE pops up in) and Mozilla Firefox which has an error pop up and restarts the window from the previous web page.

Without knowing what the error is, my first guess would be that you need to reinstall or at least update your Java installation. http://java.com/en/

Depending on your rights on the computer you can go to control panel and add remove programs and then uninstall Java. Then reinstall it from the java.com page.

I already installed Java today. I have no problems playing scrabble which also uses Java.

Good news is I am still having other issues with the computer. My hope is that this one will not hold up and I will get a different one.

No its not that either. When I get in tomorrow I will try posting the error message and see if anyone has any ideas. I would ask the IT guy who does most of my stuff for me but his wife works in the company with me and I would rather not ask him cause I know if she finds out she will gossip to everyone because she is the queen of gossip.

You might want to look and see if the laptop has a proxy server enabled too.....not sure which browser you are using, but you can find it in the TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS tab in Internet Explorer.
