PCTools fw 5.0.0.36 crashing

I just upgraded to Vista (32 bit), and am using the latest PCtools firewall, but several times a day, it crashes, with this error message



When it crashes, it also blocks internet access (can't even acces my modem), so it's quite annoying. I poked around on the pc tools website, but they don't seem to have a forum.
Has anyone else encountered this, and, if so, found any solutions?

Failing that, a recommendation for a light firewall that runs on vista would be much appreciated. SOmething similar to the 2.4 version of Comodo would be great - ie i don't want a system-wide HIPS with it

 

Here's the url to their forum. I've never used it, so don't know how helpful they are.

try re-installing PC Tools FW, that shoudl fix the prob. Use REVO Uninstaller to uninstall it completely THEN re-install.

 

I put PCTools fw on my desktop yesterday, xp pro sp2 after removing Rising firewall which was good but.... I'd never tried PCTools.

Very nice in the few hours I've had it. The firewall with Threatfire is very light which, considering I'm running with 512RAM being light on resources is important. I can't say much else since it's only been a few hours.

It's kind of nice having a work laptop and a desktop for trying out software. Now, I don't have to worry about screwing up anything.
