System using xp home, with NAV & Personal Firewall
installed. When using windows update, the dialogue box
appears, however the download fails to start. Also,
clicking on links that open another browser window in
explorer just hang as well.

Have disabled NAV Firewall, but problem still persists.
Anyone got any ideas as to how to resolve this ?
