:pullhair: When working in Outlook, I noticed the send/receive command no longer shows status. When I select 'show status of send/receive', the window appears, but does not show any send or receive in progress, displaying task 1 of 1 complete.
I also noticed that my Windows Firewall has been disabled. I went in to turn it back on, but received a message indicating I had to have administator rights to do so. I am using Windows XP and I am logged in under the default administrator account.
I have read various posts relating to the firewall issue but I am not by any means an expert in this area. Please help resolve this issue.
thank you.

On another note, I noticed my system seems to hang up and slow down regularly. I often get an error message when surfing the internet that IE has quit resonding and must close.

Programs have recently 'stopped responding' and have to close.

One more thing, I am not running XP SP2, I am running XP SP3.

Here is the log information:
