Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Service Pack 3 Issue
I hope someone out there can help. Service pack 3 was just installed on my laptop, since then I cannot modify the Windows Firewall. I have administrator privlidges. Programs such as Active-synch are now not able to work. Windows Firewall has now blocked me from many of my standard programs. All since the install. When going into the firewall, there is a statement that says, "Firewall is governed by group policies." Where can I go to either turn off the firewall or modify it? It is all currently grayed out. Once again, I have the admin username and password and this does not help. Thanks. >I hope someone out there can help.

It's really not a good idea to make changes the IT group don't know about - when things go wrong and they realize that unauthorized changes were made - guess who is right in line for the blame? Better to talk to them about it before making changes. -pk . > I hope someone out there can help. Service pack 3 was just installed on my > laptop, since then I cannot modify the Windows Firewall.
