I have got a serious problem please help.

I formated my HD about 3 weeks ago, and reinstalled everything, even SP2. everything is fine but my MSN messenger freezes everytime i try to log in but trillian works.

And when i try to download a real arcade game you know how it downloads though the "real arcade server" it also freezes. and my AOL 9.0 account freezes when i try to go to a website.

Is there something blocking this programs? I deleted my norton antivirus today, and turn off my windows firwall to see if that would help but it didn't. is there a nother firewall that is on.

I encounter that if you disable the build-in firewall that came with SP2, the next restart it would enable itself again. It looks like something like a firewall is blocking program from accessing the internet but you can still browse with IE. Do you have a router? If so check to see if it's filtering anything or go into control panel/windows firewall then go to exceptions and add the program you want to use and make sure theres a check and press ok.

Also check to see if your internet option/ security tab is not set to high.

I do have a router after i go to the routers configure page where to i go to see if it is filtering anything?

I'm not sure for your router, but on mine It's the tab that says Filters
