I’m trying to install Comodo Personal Firewall on my Win2k SP4 machine.
The machine has Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5, K9 web filter (www.k9webprotection.com/) and Grisoft AVG 7.5.432 free version as its current security software.
Prior to installing Comodo, I uninstalled Kerio and the K9 web filter and re-booted the machine to ensure it was “clean”.
I then installed Comodo (v.2.3.6.81), which asked me to re-boot once it was installed.
Upon re-boot, the machine did a BSOD before my login prompt appeared. Event viewer recorded:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: G:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini121906-02.dmp.
The only way to get out of this was to boot into safe mode and uninstall Comodo. Booting into safe mode with networking also caused a BSOD.
Any ideas? Kerio v2.1.5 is getting somewhat long-in-the-tooth now, and Comodo did come to me highly recommended. It just doesn’t seem to like my machine!
Sorry to follow-up my own post, but just noticed in event log that prior to the fatal error, it also recorded:
"The DNS Client service depends on the TCP/IP Protocol Driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning. "
and then a raft of other services (TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service etc) failed to start.
This all happenned about 1s before the BSOD error above.
