Thie red warning shield pops up that it shut down. I'm not a newbie but this
has me
baffled. I saw a woman had this same problem back in August but I don't see
any responses to fix the problem.

Have you tried resetting the FW with the netsh command? The same procedures
that can be found using Goole to rest XP'S FW apply to Vista and its FW.
