[LOGic] Any Ideas?

Sun Dec 27 21:16:26 EST 2009

uninstall iolo and see what happens then. if you have the same symptom, 
then you know what it's not.
btw, there are many fine firewall solutions for XP, but the XP firewall 
is very good itself. so, if only for testing purposes you should be 
safe with it. as for me, i prefer hardware based firewalls that protect 
my complete lans. ymmv.
