xp pro sp2 & nav2005 bootup problem
just installed nav2005 on new pc with Win XP Pro SP2, which was
running fine, during install it recommended that i used its firewall protection rather than xp's so i agreed to this. Installed all nav updates etc on the LAN, rebooted ok twice, then remembered that i needed to create a dialup connection did not think but turned on xp's firewall!!!! rebooted pc however it wont boot into windows... goes to a logon screen, i log on (which i did not have to do before) starts to load personal settings then says saving settings and we end up at logon screen again. I have removed modem removed NIC tried safe mode no joy. anyone any ideas other than that was a stupid thing to do????? |

I once had a similar problem, only it was Zone Alarm rather than Norton and it was definitely a firewall-related problem. I eventually "solved" the problem by uninstalling Zone Alarm, rebooting, reinstalling Zone Alarm, turning off the Windows firewall, and THEN rebooting. In any event, I ended up using Zone Alarm for only four days before it started causing me major problems. I ended up uninstalling again, this time for good. IMO, and in fairness it is a minority opinion but I have years of personally experience to back me up, with XP you are better off with SP2 and the Windows Firewall than with any third party firewall. I have never had a security breach using the Windows Firewall, and it has otherwise never given me any kind of problem. Meanwhile, I avoid the software conflicts and other performance and stability hits that can come with using any third party software that attempts to alter or change the way the underlying OS is supposed to work.

Did you remove any spyware during that period after installing but before restarting where the problem happened? -- Rock MS MVP Windows - Shell/User |

Meant to add - if that's the case look at this: Unable to Log On To Windows XP After Removing wsaupdater.exe http://www.lavasofthelp.com/articles/v6/04/06/0901.html -- Rock MS MVP Windows - Shell/User |
