Some programs, such as Netscape and GameSpy Arcade, will try -without warning you!- to add themselves to the Windows firewall which will majorily destroy your Windows Vista firewall so that you:

-Cannot access the internet anymore with most programs.
-Cannot switch the firewall off
-Cannot change the settings of the firewall.

Any try to change this will result in no effect.

I even failed to

-Install an alternative firewall instead

(It just resulted in Windows Vista to crash when I tried Jetico Personal Firewall freeware (for Windows 2000/XP/2003/XP x64/2003 x64/Vista/Vista x64).

Here is how to avoid destryoing your Windows Vista firewall:

1) Create a system restore point using the Windows System Recovery (it will lead you to the Windows Computer Security)

2) Disable the Windows Vista Firewall

3) Install the prg

4) Reenable the Windows Vista Firewall

I just found this lame excuse for no X64 drivers from Netgear, found on a Microsoft employee’s blog – Brendan Paddock writes:

“Companies with modern products that don’t have 64-bit drivers.
Netgear, you suck. And the completely non-sense explanation about what 64-bit is and why you’re too lazy to support it is a total crock. Dual CPUs? Give me a break. Let technical people write your technical articles from now on please. Making an x64 driver isn’t nearly as hard as they make it sound. In fact, it’s harder for video drivers but Nvidia, ATI, and Intel have done fine there. USB network adapter? Cake.“

Infact, my experience with Netgear support isn’t very good either! :-/

AOL sucks, yes they really do! Why do they do? Because when I tried to install the latest Netscape it totally destoyed the Windows Vista firewall and Firewall Control! So most web applications would be no longer possible to access to the internet because the Windows Firewall will block it but I could neither effectively change nor alter the rules since Netscape broke it. Of course I had no system restore point set at all so I had to replace some folders from an older image of Vista and now it works again! 🙂

However I have an uninstallation issue with Skype now as it cannot find the temp files for the removing before updating.

I have sent an email to them 🙂

The ICQ Team showed fun again with the Arpil Joke this year. Just a tiny sentence on the right showed the person that it is a fool! 🙂

Somehow Electonic Arts totally logged me out of their account system, while it only was for the support system of EA Germany first, now it’s also for the recently released Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars (which they call number 3 but infact is number 6 if you do count in the ego shooter C&C Renegade and number 5 if you do if you don’t).

Here is what happens:

At login, It says I need an account and “Nafcom” account does not exist . (same when I try password reminder).

2)If I try to create one it says “Nafcom” already exists, use Nafcom 2, Nafcom3, Nafcom0, etc.

So on some places the system say “Nafcom” exsists and on other places it says the account does not exist.
So whatever I do I cannot login anymore.

The only ones I could email was EA Denmark which wrote to me that they cannot help me, I have to write to EA USA or Germany.
So will have to print out the email and send it by post.

EA seems to have problems lately

A friend of mine in UK couldn’t use his serial anymore because the server said it was invalid but infact it worked perfectly all the years before.

Well, turned out he had to buy himself a new copy.
