OT - Windows XP Firewall

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I had been informed by my computer tech to turn on the firewall in

Windows XP. I tried and couldn't, so I started with AOL. Well, after

an hour of trying to get through to AOL and being given very pat

answers about it being Microsoft's problem, I waited for over an

hour, at 4:00 AM MDT,to speak to a Microsoft Tech. Sure am thankful

I did.

 

The important news is that AOL members cannot enable the Windows XP

firewall as the AOL firewall conflicts will Windows XP firewall. He

researched this with me for over an hour. Just wanted to FYI to all

of you AOL members. He was going to put that info on the Microsoft

site.

 

He was kind enough to tell me that he found another problem. He

suggested that I might want to have my BIOS fixed, repaired and

installed or it would begin doing funny stuff. I have now been

copying data and programs for over 3 hours because I am going down.

AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Still need to copy my address book and filing cabinet. Well, that's

for tomorrow morning.

 

Going on 3 hours sleep each night for the last 3 nights is causing me

to go haywire here.

 

Hope to see all of you after the Holiday with a working computer!!!!

 

Hugs,

*Very tired*
