Oh-oh, you crashed LTSpice? I though that wasn't possible.
Might have to
re-install, it is fairly painless. I have to do that once in
a
while
because the LTSpice updater doesn't work.
Not surprising. When it comes to software you have a black
thumb.

I can't remember when I first installed LTspice. The Updater
always
works.

Probably related to security settings. But it doesn't matter,
this
software is literally bug-free (unlike others ...) and I only
need to
update if a new must-have feature appear. Then it's rather
quick
and
easy. Uninstall, re-install .. get coffee .. hop back into
seat.
I don't run a firewall... that's what a good router is for.

Go to http://www.grc.com and run Shields Up and see what you
get.
I
get a 100% Stealth Rating.

Thanks, but I don't want to re-install half of my computer stuff
here. I
get no viruses or any of that and if this is why the LTSpice
updater
doesn't work it's ok. As I said, install by hand is painless. It
is so
fast that I don't even have time to snatch a cookie out of the
fridge
(although I'd like to).
Did you run Shields Up?

The computation machine bucks upon clicking "proceed" here,
meaning
it
won't continue:

Gawwwwd! What is it you have screwed up on your machine? You're
probably running Windows Firewall ?:)

No. It's just very safe :)

Seriously, yes it will balk at web sites that are overly intrusive
but
those are web sites I am not interested in anyhow. So what's the
problem? All they can find out is my connection IP and maybe track
that
to find out my preferences. Only to discover that it's gone the next
day
because I turn off the modem at night and it is dynamic IP.

It's similar when some spammer sends me an email with infested
attachments -> kersplosh ... gone.

If someone were interested in watching x-rated stuff on the computer
they would decidedly not be happy in this here office. Because most
likely it won't work.
Hmm, how can that be installed separately? I always did a clean swipe
and re-installed the whole LTSpice chebang, hoping that this would
also
fix the updater. But it never did.

It might really be the firewall or something though, in my case.

Zonealarm just indicates port 53, which is DNS and Http (80). Might
want to check your DNS settings.
Otherwise the Updated can't be installed seperately, a full install is
needed.

Ah, thanks, a closed port may be the reason. Beats me why they don't let
a little error message pop up. Instead, it just sits there and does nothing.
