I have Win XP with SP2 and have used Sygate Personal Firewall (free)
before on other computers successfully but now when I install it on my
laptop I get problems where when I boot up I get messages from Sygate
"Sygate Agent Firewall has encountered a problem and needs to close" and
"Dr Watson Postmortem has encountered a problem and needs to close" at
which point the OS stops running and I have to powerdown. I have turned
of XP firewall. I have tried to get help from Sygate forums but no help.
Any ideas?
Thanks
