You were kind enough to tell me how to get pictures and graphics to show up
on the e-mails I receive and I appreciated it very much. I still am not
able to connect to certain games on Boxer Jam and I've pretty much given up
on that. But now I discover I can no longer get into Winmx. On the
connection status screen, a yellow light just flashes and it never turns
green which means I can no longer get into the sight to search or download.
I believe this all has to down with new security but I can't be sure. Any
suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Sandee

Has this started to happen since you installed SP2?

Are you using any third party firewall ?? Or are you using Windows firewall
in SP2 ?? If so then you need to allow the connection from your firewall to
Winmx or any programs that is require , A pop up window will appear asking
you whether to enable or disable the program , this is your firewall acting
on your behave whether to allow or disallow access , Choice allow or enable
whichever and see if that works , Also you can check whether its your
firewall or not by just disable the firewall , If it then works you need to
make an advance rule to allow access to this program , make sure to enable
your firewall once you know for sure that where the problem is
