  • Portege R830 - Windows does not start after I have install Comodo Firewall

    Good afternoon

    I bought today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration, the first program that I installed was the popular free Comodo Firewall. After that I restarted, Windows 7 unbootable. It would be stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I do a system restore to the restore point created by Setup of firewall, windows restarts.

    So I ask if there is any inconsistency between the firewall and software on the Toshiba. A that someone already had this problem? I tried to solve this problem throughout the day with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba Recovery and the problem persists. I really like the Comodo and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows does not just start!

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Hi jillefsky,.

    Have you disabled the Windows Firewall before you start with the installation of Comodo Firewall? As far as I know, Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you must remove this program before you install other security tools.

    Generally this has nothing to do with Toshiba and it s advisable to contact Comodo directly. They may know about this so they can give you a proper answer.

    But I put t understand why this program is so important to you. Windows already has an internal firewall so that these programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus like AntiVir and enable the automatic updates of Windows. All that s!

    I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

    I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,

    This problem has been resolved.

    The MSE has not recognized that the windows firewall was conducted.

    This problem has been resolved by running McAfee software removal followed by uninstallation tool and relocation of MSE.

    After reinstallation, I rebooted and the updated definitions.  He reported no problems with the Windows Firewall or the absence of firewall or at risk.

  • Windows Vista SP2 fails to install and Windows Firewall will not stay

    Hello, I have problems with Vista 64-bit, it will not install service pack 2 and Windows Firewall will not stay. I tried to manually enable ICF manually and it won't turn. It gave me error 6x9D. I ran several antivirus scans malware byte and pc cleaner pro 2012 and the issue has not been resolved. If I could get help would be much appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    What do you use for security?

    If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

    And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    You have not installed SP1?

    If so, try a direct download of SP2.

  • try to install Medal of Honor Airborne on 32-bit vista, and problems with the windows firewall starts do not.

    OK, im losing my mind.

    I bought a copy of airborne for my 32 bit vista system and found initially that I had to do a few tricks to install and play it like UN-installing ageia phys-x, it was simple enough. Well I have had since stopped playing it and would try to uninstall without result. I tried to fix it and using "C-cleaner.

    I went down some of the files, but I think that my registry is a little buggy so I tried blocking it with c cleaner, he sure found several errors and fixesd them.

    Well, I'm trying now to re - install MOHA and when I put the disc and click autorun the pre-start games window appears with the usual options, play, upgrade, site Web etc... I hit play, it does nothing. I tried to uninstall it from the disk and to halfway through she said "MOHA has not stopped the Installation Wizard prematurely try again later". I can't repair or uninstall or install. I read somewhere that it is a firewall with windows problem and if I run my firewall victory "which I have never on", this should work if the software is added to the 'green' list on the firewall.

    now I find that I can not get my firewall to start. I researched and found a few forums where people explained to the services command prompt and tried to 'start' several 'order' in there and firewall programs will not start giving me this error-windows cannot start service windows firewall. and the code of error-6801.

    I am a novice to tooling autour under the 'software' hood of PCs. I know a bit about the material and that's it. anyone has any ideas for me? otherwise I'm looking to another disorder vista install, I had a moment difficult, installation of the 1st hour and im not not looking forward to try it again...

  • If you install Oracle 11 g XE with active windows firewall APEX is dead

    My first installation of Oracle 11g XE was carried out with the active windows firewall.
    The database configuration was completed in bad condition because post install scripts did not stand because port 1521 has been locked.
    You got the "Get Started" link did not stand ok and browser got an error page.

    Allways install Oracle database with the non-active windows firewall.

    You can read in the documentation, installation...

    2.1.2 the Windows Firewall configuration

    If you plan to install Oracle Database XE on a computer running the Windows Firewall, which was introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, and then connect from another computer, verify that the firewall has not been configured to block all communication between the following inbound ports. These ports are the default ports that users Oracle Database XE.

    1521: oracle database listener
    2030: oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
    8080: Transaction oracle HTTP Server

    but that apply to connect from another computer at your facility, not the installation process.
    I think that the documentation must contain "disable windows firewall before you try to install.
    Allways install Oracle database with the non-active windows firewall.

    Or add the listener and apex port numbers to the list of exceptions.
