Norton Firewall doesn't load a startup
Hi, I have a problem that I feel may be related!?
When I start my PC Norton Personal Firewall is supposed to load... it doesn't. So when I try to load the firewall by b\double clicking on that icon, if I have exceuted any other command on my PC ie. loading MS Outlook or Exploerer etc... then try to launch the Norton Pers. F/wall... all that happens is the Norton personal firewall loads but doesn't allow me to launch the actual f/wall! Whn I attempt to access the 'options' it won't let me and tell s me I do not have access! Secondly, when i try to open MSN 6.0 msgr, it comes up with a error msg advising me that I am having trouble w/ my network provider to try again later! However, when I launch MSN Msgr with the Norton Firewall, installed, then I can easily log on to internet. HELP!!

Hi there,
Please repphrase your question as it doesn't make sense -- either the software loads or it doesn't. Hpro

When I try to load the firewall by by double clicking on the Norton Pers. Firewall icon, it will NOT load the firewall, only launch the dialogue box for it. (that only happens after I had executed any other command on my PC ie. loading MS Outlook or Explorer etc.) ALSO, When I attempt to access the 'options' in the Norton Pers. Firewall dialogue box, it won't let me and tell s me I do not have access! (I do have it password protected).
When I try to load the Firewall right away after startup again by clicking on the Norton Pers. F/wall icon... it WILL load! AND the norton Pers. firewall box will also load, when I try to access the 'options' this time....it will allow me access after entering my password. If my Norton Pers. Firewall is NOT loaded, when i try to logon to MSN 6.0 msgr, it comes up with a error msg advising me that I am having trouble w/ my network provider to try again later! However, when my firewall is loaded I can access MSN msgr with NO problem at all! However, when I launch MSN Msgr with the Norton Firewall, installed, then I can easily log on to internet. |

Get rid of the Norton, for a couple of years they have had ttroble with their auto starting and auto update portion of their programs. Instead after you uninstall it, go to google and search for SygatePE firewall, it is free and much better.
