Thanks for the suggestion, LPChip. I actually saw that thread earlier and gave it a read. I went into my firewall settings and put KS on my list of full permissions. I even completely disabled the firewall and tried to launch it, but that didn't work either. I've searched my computer for "stdrt.exe" and I'm unable to find the file anywhere to make sure it's getting through the firewall and to make sure it's not being blocked by my virus protection (Webroot). Could it be hidden somewhere? Or is it possible that, since "stdrt.exe" might keep getting blocked, that the file is only created while KS is open, therefore, it's not open long enough for me to do a search for it since KS won't launch in the first place?
