Hello, I'm really stuck with a problem I haven't been able to find answers for it anywhere.
I hoped someone would be so kind to help me with it.
When i start up my PC with windows xp, sp2 the windows security center and windows firewall is apparently turned off for a short time (I'd say about 2 mins after windows loads) I cannot open the windows firewall or windows security center and strangely can't connect to some servers, msn messenger and world of warcraft servers I've found so far, however can connect to internet on firefox, all websites i've tried is fine.
"Due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings."
That is the message is says when i try to open Windows Firewall.
The Security Center doesn't open at all untill i get a message from Windows security Alert to say "no firewall active" then it pops up and windows firewall turns itself on, then i can connect to messenger etc right away.
When i tried to install Zonealarm when i first built this PC it took about 2 mins to load windows the wallpaper came up but no start menu etc, i tried it again earlier and it loads all the icons/start menu as soon as the windows security center gos on.
I can't say if the windows security center went on right away or not before i first installed zonealarm as it was long time ago.
I'm pretty worried about security since for some time i seem to have no firewall up.
It has to be linked with zonealarm but i've uninstalled it(twice) and deleted all registry i could find, not sure if the error comes from windows or zonealarm.
I'd be so very thankful if anyone can help in any way.
