| 324625 | 2005-02-13 07:20:00 | Hello. I have installed Norton FireWall on antoher Compaq computer (norton firewall came with the computer). It all seemed to install well, and when I restarted the computer, we hit problems. The computer boots, and loads the desktop image, and then stops. IE. It doesnt load the desktop, just the images behind it. The PC is a Compaq, Cleleron processer running Win XP Home. We are pretty sure the firewall is the problem as that is all that was changed. Any help would be nice. Jason. |

Then see if you can stop the Firewall from loading during start up by going Start > Run and enter in msconfig. Under the startup tab, remove the tick from beside Norton's Firewall. Then reboot the machine normally and see if this makes a difference for starters. Another option is to use System Restore to roll the system back prior to installing the software. You can do this in Safe Mode as well. |
