| 604070 | 2007-10-22 03:23:00 | I can only gain access to the web using IE, firefox or any other application cannot get through. I thought that this would be an easy fix but it has turned out to be a nightmare. Can someone please help? | lkhflhp0357khjdsfu84rhklh (11953) | ||
| 604071 | 2007-10-22 03:24:00 | I've allowed access through the firewall so that's not the problem. Firewall should display a message if it is blocking any internet accessing application. I have turned off a lot of programs in services in an attempt to speed up my computer so I may have inadvertently turned off the wrong thing... but then IE works fine??...pwease any1 help me? | lkhflhp0357khjdsfu84rhklh (11953) | ||
| 604072 | 2007-10-22 03:33:00 | What version of Windows?? What firewall? Tell us WHAT services you disabled. |

| 604073 | 2007-10-22 03:40:00 | Oh wow... Im using windows XP HE and just the standard xp firewall (not 3rd party). As for the services part... There were many...lol. I was hoping that the "IE works fine" part would give a good clue as to the problem. Why would IE work fine and nothing else? Im using a wireless connection in a compaq presario c300 laptop. |

| 604074 | 2007-10-22 03:42:00 | First tell us what services you turned off. Then we might tell you why IE works and other apps don't. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 604075 | 2007-10-22 03:49:00 | Well I would say its 1 or more of the services you disabled. Thats causing the prob. You'll have to remember which ones you disabled and enable them again. Somehow I dont think the services would have slowed you down. Depending on what you mean by slow (the computer itself, or when u use it on the net), and whether you're on dialup or broadband. It could be lack of ram, it may need a defrag, or you're running too many programs on startup (and you havent got a lot of ram installed) |

| 604076 | 2007-10-22 03:53:00 | These are the ones that are disabled: Alerter Automatic Live Update Automatic Updates Background Intelligent Transfer Service Clipbook COM Host Live Update Messenger Norton Antivirus AutoProtection service Norton Protection Center service Routin and Remote Access Security Centre Semantec (x8 programs) Themes and many more that are manually started |

| 604077 | 2007-10-22 03:59:00 | Well kill / uninstall Symantec's firewall, if this is what you've got. Depending on how much ram is installed, this will definitely slow a system down. No point having it if you've disabled most of its programs / services. |

| 604078 | 2007-10-22 04:37:00 | a BIG TY to for your help. Un-installed symantec worked a treat! | lkhflhp0357khjdsfu84rhklh (11953) | ||
| 604079 | 2007-10-22 04:40:00 | Cool! Its most probably one of its services you disabled, that killed access to the net. |
