    Well, I don't know then. Frankly, if their coders can't work with XP
    SP2, I'd hesitate to install one of their games. I can tell you that
    none of the 3 gaming computers here - all running XP SP2 with some sort
    of firewall - have had any troubles connecting to any websites when we
    needed to confirm something or validate something. Perhaps you have a
    popup blocker in place that is preventing you from logging in, or you
    need to enable cookies in your browser. I very much doubt it is the
    Windows Firewall that is preventing you from connecting to their
    website.

    Sorry I didn't have a better answer for you. Maybe someone else reading
    this newsgroup has used Trygames before and knows what the problem is.
