I have a laptop which I have just rebuilt from scratch. One Care ran ok in
the previous set up. Now with exactly the same software installed the
firewall won't start. I have the Windows Firewall running instead, and
behind that there is one in the router. However I would like to crack this
problem. All the other One Care functions seem to be running normally

I have been to Online help and, following ther advice I have
1. Checked out the One Care start settings. When started manually it begins
to run then ceases with a message that is not relevant
(roughly it says if there are no systems in the machine that need a firewall
it does not start)
2. Corrected the Path, whiche seemed to have been overriden by SQL
3 Reinstalled MSXML4 Service Pack 2
4 Reinstalled One Care
all in the sequence recommended by the online help. No progress. Anyone any
ideas

Hello Roger,
The rule of tumb is : never run with 2 firewalls. They are Not compatible to each other. One will cancell out the other. That's why. Windows Firewall is meant to do the job, and it does. Why lean on a third party firewall, even it says " windows " ?
