i am unable to connect yahoo & msn messenger but can browse the
websites through browser

I am using my personal computer at home. yesterday trial period of zone
alarm is over so i was trying to uninstall zone alarm. After that i
tried to install Kerio personal firewall. But it doesnt work properly
. So I uninstalled it also.

But in the mean time i observed that i m unable to login to yahoo
messenger & MSN messenger.

Does it because zone alram blocked all the ports which r used by yahoo
& msn.

I m really bugged with this ..
Please any body tell me ..what to do to solve this problem..

Thanks in advance

RP

Very good, but installing those is usually the better option.

So why do you wonder about broken network functionality?

Why?

Again: why do you wonder? These software packages are known to be pretty
defective.

Could be.

There might be some ways to search for those drivers, delete them and
probably repair the NDIS stack. This is complicated and most likely your
system is messed up anyway, so flattening and reinstallation is the best
choice.
