Since installing a new computer in July, Windows XP always fails to detect a
firewall when the computer is turned on. This is notified by a balloon which
is clicked to rectify after about 30 seconds. The alternative is simply to
wait for about 30 seconds. Access to Internet Explorer is not possible during
this time and although this is not a particular problem for me as a home user
it is not something which I have experienced before. Is there an underlying
problem which needs to be sorted out or do I have to live with it.

I can't see what this question has to do with Microsoft Word.
