Cannot turn ON XP Firewall
I recently uninstalled Norton AntiVirus and am now getting a Security Alert
(No Firewall is running) each time I boot up. I've followed the recommended steps, but the window for clicking "ON (Recommended)" is non-responsive. I've tried "START, RUN, cmd, netsh winsock reset" which tells me I was successfull, and "START, RUN, Firewall.cpl" which takes me back to the non-responsive "ON (Recommended)" again. I suppose I turned the Windows Firewall OFF really well when I installed SP2, so okay...how do I turn the sucker back on now? |

Cannot turn ON XP Firewall
Go to Start Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Under the General tab, check "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services", click "apply" and reboot. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Microsoft Community Newsgroups news://msnews.microsoft.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "gin_jammer" wrote: | I recently uninstalled Norton AntiVirus and am now getting a Security Alert | (No Firewall is running) each time I boot up.

Cannot turn ON XP Firewall
Thanks for the suggestion. I did as suggested (twice), but am still unable
to click "ON (Recommended)". More ideas? "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote: Go to Start Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
