 Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 10:37 am Post subject: Kerio Firewall |
|
|
Hello. I installed Kerio Firewall on my Windows XP system and then uninstalled it. Now I have a "log on to windows" screen that comes up when i power on. there is no password to get on my system so i just hit OK and then windows continues to load.
Can you help me get rid of the log on screen?
Thanks in advance. |

It USED to be (& still is as far as I know -unless a SP2 changed it - did on a lot of there things) that if you had a blank password, it would log straight in.
Assuming you are the only one logging in - If you would like a bit of added security (from outside attacks) you can get the power toy - TWEEKUI - from M$'s site - it has a function in it that will log the machine on FOR you using a name & password. (this is what I do) |

I don't use Kerio firewall, nor will I ever. The windows firewall is more than sufficient to protect any HOME computer.
It's possible, however, that the firewall actually created another user account.
Check for that in the USERS applet in the Control Panel.
I've actually seen such things happen before.
If it did, or something else did, remove that account.
Good Luck,
Doc  |

OOPS, I let it slide right on by about the FIREWALL...
I think DOC may be correct...
I haven't check out this one. - & really don't have the time or resources to check "everything" that comes down the pike.- sorry to those that would possibly be counting on that. |

An addendum to my last post:
If this problem happened over just a few days time period, (recently)
I'd use the System Restore applet in system tools, to back up the system to a time before the problem started.
If you don't have System Restore turned ON, then you should. It was made just for little screw up's like this.
If your System Restore feature is ON, but you're not getting a new restore point, at least one a day, then you need to do something about that. I had that problem and decided to put a little script in my Startup folder to force a new restore point on every boot. Now, I always have a fresh restore point when I need one.
I use my own System Restore at least once every week and sometimes three or four times, depending on how many programs I'm evaluating in that week. (there's some really crappy software out there! ) 
Many program mess up on one PC or another, because of the interaction with other programs running on that PC. Since no 2 person's PC's are exactly alike, it's hard to say what any program will do on any given PC.
Good Luck,
The Doctor |
