BSOD on firewall install or config

by FIRECats Jun 5, 2005 4:35PM PDT

Ive got an XP Pro system and have decided, to install a thrid party firewall, have tried Jetico Personal Firewall, Sygate personal firewall, and ZoneAlarm, with every application i have been recieving the Dreaded BSOD either during the install process (ZoneAlarm twice decided it wasnt worth it after that) during the config of the Firewall (Sygate and Jetico) and also when trying to logon after BSOD appeared during config of Jetico 3 times both loggin on as administrator and myself. After each one gave me numerous BSOD i uninstalled it and then tried another program thinking it was not SP2 compatible or there was an error in the install process.
Is there any reason for this happening, last time i recieved BSOD it was to do with my video drivers when playing high detail games, but this time it seems to be firewall orientated.

Have you...

* Turned off Windows' own firewall and ZONE ALARM before installing the third paty ones ?
to prevent conflicts, you should really have only one firewall running. I would use ZONE ALARM only, but it's your choice.

* Disabled your anti-virus before installing the firewalls ?

Yes

I had disabled the windows firewall and AVG before trying to install any firewalls never got ZoneAlarm to finish installing, it would start installing and after 5 - 10 of installing BSOD, the 3rd party firewalls i managed to install were removed before trying to install any other firewall. I only intend to run one firewall and my preference was Zone Alarm as i have found it to be extremly good in the past

BSOD is a fatal error...

but that blue screen tells you what it is (and so most likely would your Event Viewer). Think you could do the same for us (because BSOD leaves a LOT of territory to explore)?
