| 176215 | 2003-09-21 05:51:00 | To see whether the XP firewall is on or off go to Control Panel > Network Connection. Right click on your dial-up connection icon and select Properties > Advanced Tab. Under "Internet Connection Firewall" look for the presence of absence of a tick beside "Protect my computer and network ....". You don't need to reboot to enable or disable the firewall. | Jen C (20) | ||

| 176217 | 2003-09-21 06:09:00 | So we can rule out the XP firewall. What about other firewalls you have or had installed? Were these removed completely from you system? Also have a look in Start > Run. Type in msconfig - OK. Click on the Startup Tab and look for any entries relating to previous installed Firewalls eg ZoneAlarm, Keiro. If you find any entries, remove the tick from beside it. When I updated Trillian with the patch, my firewall gave a new alert which I had to say yes or no to as the program had changed since the previous permission was given. I'm just wondering if you have an incomplete uninstallation of a prior firewall throwing a spanner in the works. |

| 176218 | 2003-09-21 06:21:00 | ok did that found nothing of previous zonealarm but did find these and dont know what they are, (did not touch :D ) E_S1OIC2 Wkfud WksSb Nerocheck (cd thing?) Avgcc32 (AVG ? virus thing?) Carpserv E_S1OIC2 (twice ????) WkDetect Ypager Microsoft Works Ca. but did also look in services ( not touching) and it says Messenger Microsoft Stopped will this mean its not currently running or it wont run because its been stopped? confuzzled beetle |

| 176219 | 2003-09-21 06:32:00 | Glad you didn't touch anything under the Services tab :D ... the Messenger service you saw stopped has nothing to do with Windows Messenger or MSN. E_S101C2 only belongs to your Epson printer. So, no ZoneAlarm or other firewall listed then huh? There goes that theory. Bit stumped now. |

| 176221 | 2003-09-21 11:35:00 | I am well and truly stumped with this one, Beetle, sorry. :-( Something has spat the dummy somewhere, but who knows where?? A long shot, but your date and time on the Tasktray is correct, isn't it? Strangely enough, I haven't updated my Trillian and I don't get those MSN popups anymore. Now that is weird.... ?:| |

| 176222 | 2003-09-21 13:18:00 | ok did another system restore back furtor to before the popups and still no go, so restored back to today . then a uninstall of msn and yahoo then did a defrag and reinstalled both again, but know go will open progs but wont connect. is it some thing to do with proxy settings? as when look in preferences or want to change settings on either prog, some areas are still greyed out, what does this mean ???? as cant put in name for display name and a few other settings? why would this be?? time and date ok, nothing untoward, and i havent fiddled with any settings that would do anything like this, beetle |

| 176223 | 2003-09-22 01:01:00 | ok back again have done a total uninstall of these progs - yahoo & msn then went through and did a search for anything with it in yahoo msn and trillian and deleted what was left and have emptyd the recycle bin to, (if too much goes wrong ill do a restore) and have rebooted and will try at some other stage installing these progs on this machine, may change names / display and login and go from there. will let you know how i get on. thanxs all im totally lost as to why they didnt work when it was fine up till then. keep plodding along i guess, beetle |
