Few problems after Firewall Client

[Slade2000]

Hi

I installed Win7 and all was working 100%. Today i loaded Microsoft Firewall Client 4 to be able to use it on my office network. After installing i started to have loads of problems. First it was not booting it gave me a black screen after applying the password. I then booted in safe mode and removed the Firewall Client. I then can boot again but it is slow like hell takes approx half a minute and now i have no network onnections (Cable or wireless), can not enable or disable my windows firewall, can not vie event log and so on. How can i fix all this. And i was not able to do a restore from savemode or by the origanal cd.

Tnx allot

Two things come to mind ... run sfc/ scannow from a command prompt to check the integrity of your system files...

Run a repair install from your installation DVD... Hope this helps...

Did a sfc but could not find anything wrong and if i run a repair it tells me "The version of System Recovery is not campatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair."

 

[Tews]

What version are you running and what version is your installation DVD?

 

[Slade2000]

It is the very same cd i installed it from. Windows 7 Ultimate

Then you need to consider a clean re-install of the OS..

 

[Slade2000]

i do but first trying my options

 

[Tews]

What other options do you see?

 

[Slade2000]

Waiting to see what others say.

Why would fMS Firewall Client do this?

 

[Slade2000]

Ok i have done a new install on Win7, everything fine again. before instaling anything else installed MS Firewall Client and it did the very same thing.

:huh:

Uninstall it... then make a system image of your C: drive in case this happens again....

 

[Slade2000]

did that already. Is there any other Firewall client software that will work with Win7?

 

[Tews]

PCtools Firewall Plus works well with Windows 7 and is free ... Get it -=> Here

And Image that drive!

Installed it but seems it does not have an ISA Client

 

[Tews]

Are you connecting to an ISA server .... if not, why the need for an ISA Firewall client?

 

[Slade2000]

At my workplace i connect to a ISA

 

[Tews]

It may just come down to a compatibility problem... have you tried installing the client in Vista Compatibility mode??
