im using the firerwall (only) of the CIS. At the time i installed the final of Windows 7 ultimate x64, bevor i was using the beta and the RC i had only sometimes the problem that the firewall crashed on startup but i was a rare thing.
Now i have the final and on every 1of2 startups the CIS crahses, only when i boot the PC, not when i start CIS after the crash.
I forgot to copy the error-message from windows, is there something like a LOG?
Usually we like to keep separate topics for each bug. But this is a one time opportunity to have a bundle of probably related bugs together. This will only work if you do exactly as I told you; otherwise this thread become a mess.
Once the information is in place an minidumps are published it is up to the devs.
Hey guys I had the exact same problem and got it solved pretty easy, when I check on the application event log (Windows → Control Center → Adminstrative Tools-> Eventlog)
I discovered the following dll causing the crash:
C:\Windows\System32\msxml3.dll
so I just thought to update msxml I downloaded and installed Microsoft XML 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 (in that order) and Problem never occured again. just keep in mind if you are running on W7x64 to download 6.0 for x64 to avoid any other issues.
This MSXML3 or MSXML6 seems not the solution for me. MSXML is also quite old, when reading the info on microsoft download page. Plus I am already up-te-date according windows update.
I have this solution - it worked for me:
I had the situation that Windows 7 (x64) hanged during start-up after installation of the Comodo Firewall in about 50% of the start-ups. Really annoying.
Then I realized that my windows firewall was also running / not disabled. After disabling the windows firewall, Windows did not hang a single time anymore.
