Hi,
Whenever I turn on the XP firewall, my internet explorer
slows way down. Is this a common problem and is there a
fix for it.
 
Hello Bob,

ICF does not generally do this by itself, so it is possible that you some
other program running on your system that ICF is conflicting with. Please
do the following testing to narrow down the problem using the tool MSCONFIG
-

A) Go to Start\Run and type
MSCONFIG <OK>
B) In MSConfig, choose "Selective Startup"
C) Remove all check boxes and click "OK" and "Yes" to reboot.
Then test our issue.
D) If you don't see the problem at this point, check all except "System
Services" and "Startup Items", click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot then test our issue.
E) If you don't see the problem at this point, check all except "System
Services", click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot and then test our issue.
F) If the problem returns, it is due to a Startup Item. If not, it is a
Service.
For Services:
G) Click the Services tab and check the box for "Hide all Microsoft
Services."
H) Enable SOME of the disabled items, click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot, then test our issue.
For Startup Items:
I) Click the Startup tab and enable SOME of the disabled items, click "OK"
and "Yes".
Reboot, then test our issue.
J) Repeat until you track down the offending component.
