Click the windows start button (see below for description)(the far left bottom - then look for the Control panel - click that - then look for Security and firewall should be there. The windows start button is the large circle with the red, green, blue and yellow flag.

Well its kinda like this....my computer has been freezing up alot lately and I was about ready to bury the #$%^!!! So yesterday I ran system recovery and now it won't let me reinstall yahoo messenger because it tells me my firewall is blocking it so I wanted to turn it off long enough to install it and then turn it back on. As it is now I don't know when I have email without checking for it. With YM I had it set to yodel :-o when an email came in..............so now that you know come fix this @#$%^&* for me!!! :lol:

I don't have a pic for this like you would have, but "poor baby!" I know how you feel!

Did you follow the instructions the other's gave you? That should get you to the firewall. Just don't forget to reset it or you will regret it later!
