I hope that the rules of version 1.0 can be importet to version 2.0. If not a lot of work is coming up. There are two XP versions: Jetico Personal Firewall for Windows 2000/XP - 2845 kB Jetico Personal Firewall for Windows NT4(SP6)/2000/XP I think the first one is for Win XP SP2, the second one supports also NT4. @Stem you are running 2.0? First experiences?
Rules creation popup now looks a little like outpost pro. A little buggy on rules, but still playing.
Ok, i will give it a try now. First problem: After a clean install Jetico (jpfserv.exe; jpf.exe) is running as a process but not appearing in the Systray. Error message: Could not connect Jetico Personal Firewall Server. Can not continue. After that jpf.exe is shutting down.
Second Problem: Trying to uninstall; not working 'Error read log file, err code )'. This is haeavy Beta
If you cannot uninstall, try first to stop the Jetico service~ control panel / administrative tools / services
Done this before without uninstall succes, deleted the files, cleaned registry by hand than. Trying a new fresh install.
Ok, there seams to be a problem with the Jetico Server Service. It's _not_ starting. Shows status 'starting', and startup type 'manual' but won't run. Starting manual is not possible.
Are you running on an admin account?(not that is should make a difference). Must be some conflict on your system
Yes i run an admin account. The rare thing is that the jpfsrv.exe is running, but not the service. P.S. You should merge this thread with https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=141530
There is no trayicon I just looked up the service and security logs. Everything ok. By the way tyring to clean my registry from Jetico and Neoava entries. Perhpas there is the problem. How can i delete "Lagecy" entries. Getting acces denied.
not working. Ok after several attempts to install Jetico 2.0 i resign. Can't get it to run on WinXP SP2. The service won't start. I checked event/security/file etc logs. Everything clean, admin account. Back to jetico 1
