Error 65 usually indicates a firewall problem.
It is either misconfigured or has been incorrectly un-installed.

Un-install any firewall as per the manufacturer's
instructions during troubleshooting.

This can also be caused by the incorrect and
incomplete removal of a firewall.

If you un-install a firewall from add / remove programs,
it can often leave debris behind like rogue services.

For example, if you un-install zonealarm like this,
the TrueVector service may continue to run.

The fix for this is to re-install the firewall and then un-install
it correctly. Consult the manufacturer's website for details.

For example, with ZoneAlarm, you need to go to the
ZA control panel, and un-check 'run at startup'.
Then re-boot, so ZA is no longer running, then un-install it.
