Hey guys,
I’m new, of course, but I joined so I could figure this out.
I had Comodo Firewall v2 Vista 32 bit operating system version.
I have a laptop with WiFi on it.
So when I installed Comodo, it blocked my WiFi right off the bat. I was “halfway” connected 100% of the time that I had Comodo. No connect/kickoff like most other people. Zip. Zilch. So at first I decided maybe it was just one of those generic firewall problems, the ones that block everything, and I just needed to set the rules. I went in and allowed the IP, nothing worked, went in and allowed svchost.exe, nothing worked, and basically I did just about everything that I’ve read here in these forums, nothing more. It was a three day struggle before I finally decided to uninstall the firewall.
It didn’t work. I would “uninstall” it, but it would still block my WiFi!!!
Re-installed it…didn’t work. Went into the registry, ran CrapCleaner, didn’t work.
I finally broke down and did System Restore. I thought that was the fix. When the laptop finally rebooted, I signed in like usual. For a second I watched the laptop boot, and voila! I had Wifi!!
Five seconds later I get a blue screen of death: “IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO”
OH my God.
I restarted, same thing happened…this cycle repeated about three times.
I logged into safe mode…Still had no net.
So I undid System Restore out of a user option, and was stuck with the same problem I started with. Took it to the tech guys down at my college, they were stumped. They had to re-install Windows Vista in order to try and fix the problem…still havent gotten any word. Any thoughts on why I would have this much trouble with a small firewall???
To the point where it would give me blue screens before it would resolve?
To the point where I had to REINSTALL (:AGY) WINDOWS?!
Stealing posts are okay with me…if you have this same problem I’d love to hear from you.
No worries, sorry if I overreacted, it just frustrated me to heck! (:WAV)
