| | Vista Firewall turns itself off.... I'm really at the end of my tether with this issue - have a laptop which has windows Vista installed. Whenever I boot up the Windows Firewall is turned on. However, towards the end of the boot process, the Windows Firewall turns itself off, almost as if when a program loads it knocks it out. Is there anyway I can do a walk thru' of the boot up process so I can see if I can capture which program or process is doing it? At my wits end. |

You have a program which has firewall of it's own, and it knock off windows firewall. The system cannot hold 2 separate firewalls, they are always in conflict with each other. If you have Norton or Windows Live Onecare, disabled their firewalls. Windows Firewall is designed for your machine, don't need another sheriff. |

This is what I can't understand, because all the searching I've been doing suggest uninstalling the 2nd firewall I've installed - but I've only got and ever had, the one. |
