Oh dear, my reply was part of a story I like to tell because my parents had lots of well-meaning friends who were convinced that those stereotypes were eternal verities, and had lots of sadistic fun informing my parents that I'd grow up to be 'queer': which I did, but not in the way they meant!

Quickest route might be LC 6.7. No matter which version, 6 8 9, if you can, turn off ALL update preferences/options. Check Task Manager and end any stray LC processes, especially an "Installer" or "Setup" process which is usually just an update check, but causes tons of issues.
