Hi jodu, "error 0" usually means that the driver (lnsfw1) was not loaded correctly by windows at startup.(check your device manager,it will be yellow on the LnS driver if it did not load correctly) You can also try this patch: http://looknstop.soft4ever.com/Tools/LnSRegPatch.exe and reboot. Frederic the Author of LnS would know for sure,good luck
Thank you. Another question: is LnS for everybody, or you need to have some experience in configurating firewalls??
Hi jodu, I think LnS is easy to use now,at first I had no clue about rule based firewalls! But in time,it becomes second nature too you,like anything else. If you use the EnhancedRulesSet.rls for starts will it keep your ports stealth and your computer protected by hackers,nukes,program changes,etc and you really should not run into any problems,unless you are useing a modem & router/wireless WiFi,there's a bit of reading to do.In my case a WiFi rule was needed to be added and one plugin dll and all runs without error. There are rules & plugins already made by the Author,in the case you need a rule for Example: Gamespy needs to know what ports to use this rule(gamespt.rie) would allow you to do so. If your not using P2P,on-line games,etc you really have nothing to do,but importing of the rule is easy as a click of the mouse! It's can seem a bit much if you never used a rulebased firewall but I sure am glad,I stuck with LnS is a great firewall! and the best I have every used,and I did trail every firewall in the past 6 years and nothing comes close to LnS! [IMO] All the best in your search and you don't need to be a super Tech to install and configure it,the built in help files covers everything you need to know.
Hi jodu, Your welcome,and one more thing. You should have a look at these links to make this install of LnS very easy to do step-by-step and very easy to follow. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=83498 Written by Blackspear.

Hi, This happens typically when the computer is not restarted after the installation. Another possibility could be the non-signed drivers are not allowed to be installed (this is an option in the device properties dialog box). If you still have the problem, give us the exact error message you get. Regards, Frederic
Hi. I think the all problem might have been a old trial version of ZoneAlarm, that wasn't properly uninstalled. I got this installation problem ( firewall component) with two other programs: Antivir with firewall beta(2007) and PC-cilin 2007 beta. I've installed a trial version of ZA with antispyware ( version 6.5 ), then in the program I disabled(turn off) all functions and then uninstalled via add/remove programs and then reboot. After that I could install LnS. I've notice that there is another Thread based on this problem. I think this could help. Thanks
