Firewall gone missing

[Ian Richards]

I've installed the antispyware software and done the re
boot, but now my microsoft firewall wont turn back on.

Anybody know how to cure this?

Please email

Thanks

Ian

Got the same problem, after I run system repair (name may
be different becourse I use the Dutch version of winxp
home, with the tool you can restore windows to the state
before you installed anty spyware).

Maybe ms antispy conflicts with another antispy tool, not
sure about that.

Read the KB article to understand what happened:

In XPSP2, this is quite an easy fix, and I believe we'll see a change in
Microsoft Antispyware's behavior in future releases--nobody feels the
current behavior is the best that can be done!
