Hi i have installed online armor please can anyone tell me why the vista secruity is not picking up the firewall even though the firewall is working also has this online armor got hips built in too the free version thanks
Thankyou tester Would you know why the secruity center in vista is not recognizing my OA even though the firewall is running in the background
No. I don't have Vista and I don't use the Security Center on XP Home. From browsing the Online Armor forum, the only thing I come up with is that OA doesn't work on 64 bit Vista. It works on 32 bit though. At any rate, there are bound to be OA free users that are using it on Vista and someone might know.
I have seen the Windows Security Center get "stuck" and not recognize changes. There is a simple way to reset it, though. 1. Go to Services and Stop Windows Management Instrumentation 2. Go to \Windows\System32\WBEM\ and Right-click on the Repository folder and click Delete and remove it 3. Go to Services and Start Windows Management Instrumentation 4. Restart your computer
Thanks for the tip Mr. Doe - The Universally helpful tip for when Windows Security Center does not recognize what it should!!! Often, I forget... Thank You. I "always" Copy and Paste; where did I Save it to? That's my problem though.
the first thing i do after i install fresh copy of windows is to disable security center service and system restore and few other windows services.
It could be but only if it wouldn´t create so many bsods. I still not managed to get the latest version installed. Only bsods or hang ons on win xp.
This is usually caused by a conflict, or leftovers from other apps. What else do you have/had running on that machine?
No leftovers fresh installation, Unlocker is probably the only invasive software that I installed. I always receive a Stop BE from OAnet.sys this time @ F6806161 @ F68000000.
I have never seen a firewall installation that crashed the system on a fresh win xp this way. I have to look for a dump.
Sounds like a driver conflict if it's a fresh installation or perhaps one of those nifty windoze updates we all love.
