I installed Comodo Firewall pro v.3.0.16.295 for 64bit vista and everything seemed fine, firefox and mirc worked and nod32 updated itself as usual,
When i turned on the computer the next day i was greeted with an error message concerning skype crashing when i booted and entered vista , i tried firefox but it only displayed a blank screen and i got the firefox error reporting window and a windows error message stating that firefox had stopped working, mirc couldn’t connect stating that it was unable to create socket, i also get the “stopped working” message when i close mirc.
I use a weather forecast gadget in vista sidebar and it is unaffected, it still reports the weather and the network and sharing center shows that i have an internet connection.
I uninstalled comodo fw but it didn’t fix the problem. i`ve also tried repairing,disableling the network and changing my network settings.
I log in as admin, no other firewall was installed, I forgot to turn off other apps during the installation of comodo fw, nod 32, mirc, firefox and quintessential player was running at the time.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
