Steffen, Thank you for confirming my hallucinations. Just this afternoon I installed R56 on an XP laptop to do some testing and after doing so I was left with a paperweight. When the machine rebooted, I would almost get to the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen and it would BSOD and automatically reboot. I was unable to boot into any sort of Safe Mode or Last-Known Good. I ended up reformatting the machine (as it wasn't production, anyways). However, I reformatted that machine, ran all the Windows Updates and the installation of R56 went fine. Go figure.
I would recommend to anyone installing R56 to disable the "Automatic Restart" option for System Failure. You can find that option by following these steps... 1) Right-click on My Computer, left-click on Properties (or simply hold down the Window key and press the Pause/Break key). 2) Click on the Advanced Tab, click on Settings under Startup and Recovery. 3) It's the bottom checkmark in the "System Failure" section. Please note that disabling "Automatic Restart" won't prevent the problem from happening, but hopefully it will mention what driver or dll is having a problem so you can recover the file (booting from the XP disc and doing Recovery Console). -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steck, Steffen M. Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] SecuRemote / SecureClient R56 on XP troubles I am evaluating the latest version of SecuRemote / SecureClient. I have made installations on different machines (partially virtaul machines) running W2K or WXP. My experience is that there are serious troubles with R56 on WXP - sometimes installation fails leaving a corrupt IP stack and sometimes installation completes and afterwards WXP boots and shuts down itself due to a wrong driver. I could unfortunately reproduce this on different XP machines, all with some kind of personal firewall installed. All W2K installations went fine so far. Anybody seen similar things - anybody having some ideas? ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
