    I hate nvidia Firewall

    Okay, I cannot even count the number of uninstalls, reinstalls, restarts, reboots because of this program. When I installed the chipset drivers off of my mobo's website this program worked great.
    When I updated my chipset drivers, it wont work, and I blue screen. I also slowed down my server browser in video games. I cannot install it now without blue screening, I tried emailing Nvidia but they havent responded for a while. Does anyone know how I can get nvidia firewall to work without blue screening because I really liked it.

    UPDATE: After looking through the nvidia forums, I found that MANY MANY people are hacing problems with it, and some the same problem as me, and others different ones. It seems nvidia just cant seem to fix it.

    I've given up on Firewalls altogether. I just them simply too invasive.

    Maybe an old versions of firewalls like Tiny Personal Firewall or Sygate Personal Firewall.

    Try www.oldversion.com

    that's what I did..sometimes older is better

        I know, and that is one reason I really want to use nv firewall, it seemed to work really well with my 6.53 drivers and I had no issues and I seemed to be safe, until it just wont work anymore. Even with the old drivers. and it ****es me off!

          Well, for me..I like using a software firewall OCCASIONALLY for things like preventing Steam from accessing the Internet every time I wanna play HL2.

            Hardware firewalls are great, for some reason the software ones cause me nothing but problems.

                Hardware firewall = NAT enabled router
