There may be another firewall installed that is turning Off the Windows Firewall automatically. |

| | Re: Vista firewall No, Dave, I'm not running Onecare. I've seen a few other issues that are about the same & it seems that there isn't a resolution, at least that I've read here today.

I do know that you aren't supposed to run more than one firewall, but if there is another one, I would think it could only be the ones for the router and VOIP and those shouldn't matter. I uninstalled my CA firewall because I was having to much trouble loading pages and only turned on windows firewall after that. |

You could also try using another Vista compatible firewall, such as PC Tools Firewall Plus (this and a number of others are free) so you have something reliable if you can't get the Vista firewall to stay ON. |

Thanks for suggesting the others as well, I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the help. |
