186193 2003-10-30 09:17:00 If any one can help LB( I am chatting to her at the moment) getting IE to connect to the net come over to chat F1( http://www.chatf1.net.nz) & I will relay your suggestion to her :) stu140103 (137)
186194 2003-10-30 09:22:00 ZA is proberly the easiest one to use, you can't get much simplier than 'yes or no' ;-)

as far as the alerts go .....who cares! turn the alert notifaction OFF.

the only think that catchs most people out is to tick "remember this answer".

186195 2003-10-30 09:27:00 but it seems to be not saying that to her...
and it is just keeps alerting the hell out of her.....


she's not doing well and it seems we are not helping her much either....

186196 2003-10-30 09:32:00 i wouldn't mind betting shes having trouble seperateing the program alerts and the intrusion alerts. check the alert & log tab and turn alerts off. then she can go from their and take her time reading the program alerts. tweak'e (174)

186198 2003-10-30 09:58:00 and talking to me but not consistantly she says she gets cut off, otherwise how would i know?

and she doesnt know alerts from access like tweak'e said.

she has spat the dummy at it and shut it down.

and apart from messenger nothing is gaining net access.
and im sure when time and help has been given things will get clearer.
its blocking all pages she tries to open,
and that means she has no pf1 access to ask anything.....
and our communication is erratic ....from my end it seems to be also.

And she is going to do a system restore (I think) & reinstall ZA after that & tomorrow I am going to help her get IE and the rest to work :),hopefully

So if any one has any ideas, you are welcome to post them & we will try them tomorrow.

186200 2003-10-30 10:13:00 Ladybug would of found that Norton Personal Firewall would of automatically configured internet access for trusted programs so she might not of had to deal with the sudden rush of programs/alerts demanding access. This means she might of inadvertantly denied access to IE and other such programs. I am not familiar with ZA so if someone could give her instructions on how to check the logs to see what has been blocked so far and how to change permissions. Jen C (20)
