    Have you downloaded the newest patch? Checked to see if your firewall is blocking pwi, checked to see if windows firewall (it's really dumb) is blocking pwi?

    I know it can be frustrating when you want to play and can't.

    Try a couple of these things and see if anything helps....

    1. check to make sure your version of windows is fully updated. Not just the automatic updates, but the optional ones as well. Sometimes a new driver shows up and you would be surprised at how often that can fix a buggy game. (I am assuming your running windows, as you didn't state otherwise)

    2. Download a program that will scan and test your RAM such as

    http://www.memtest86.com/

    download the iso image and burn it to a cd. Then boot from the cd. Easy as.
    Also for a cd with all the trimmings try

    http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

    Run the Ram tests and if it throws any errors, your problem might be a balky or failing stick of ram.

    Barring that, check in tech support section and see if anyone there can help you better than me :-)

    Also if it's a wireless laptop, make sure theconnection strength is high. If it is a weak signal then it will not allow you to get on.

    Maybe you should try uninstalling PWI and reinstalling it as that might be your problem. If that does not work for you then you may want to consult with Tech Support for further assistants.

    I had a problem similar to this before. Try verifying your files in the initial screen before starting up the game. I think it catches any files either missing or that may have been corrupted or messed up during an update. Best of luck!

    Edit: forgot to mention, verifying files may take a few minutes to a few hours x_x
