Uninstall WLM and reinstall

Upgrade to SP3

Contact your ISP to make sure your computer is set up properly and the ISP has not been the problem .

You need to upgrade WLM from 8.5 to 2009.

Click one of the setup - msi links here to download the full file.

After you download and save the file, close all open windows, then double-click the file to install it. It'll install over and replace 8.5.

I recently read an article that warned users to upgrade to the new version before the older versions get disabled from being used.
