No Sygate Firewall with SP2

[caveman]

I've just installed Service Pack 2. Problem is that my Sygate Firewall will not work even after a reinstallation. I am unable to do a system restore either (to any restore point)
What is the solution please. Should I stick with Windows Firewall, uninstall the SP2 or is there a solution

do a search, there is a big thread somewhere i think

My Sygate personal works ok with sp2 but windows security does not recognise it.
Is the security stopping it running?
Check in control panel/security center and set firewall to 'I have my own' under recomendations, then give it another go.

Sygate is OK, but there are better firewalls available, like Kerio or ZoneAlarm. I used them both and loved them. I now switched to Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro, which is superior, so you might want to try that too. No XP comatibility issues with any service packs

Or if you know what you're doing, then kill the security centre all together. Then you won't have it complaining about the lack of a firewall even if it's not been detected. If Sygate says it's running, then you should be OK - the security centre just will kick up a fuss.
