Thank you so much for alllllll your help!!!
#1) How do I turn on the windows XP firewall? ... I have looked for it before and can't seem to find it.
#2) I will disable activeX ... but does that mean I can not chat during my very important spades games?
#3) How do I close the open port I have with yahoo ... Is this done by disabling activeX also?
I will get Zonealarm as well.
