Solved the I/O 32 error problem - at least for my system !!
2005-08-14 by Tony Bonanno
Finally found the cause of my I/O 32 error messages, at least when using QTR on my systems. I always disable firewalls first when trying to troubleshoot a software problem. But this time things were a little different. Seems that Kerio Personal Firewall had recently released an update (which I had installed on two of my three machines). I had disabled the firewall when troubleshooting the I/O 32 error problem. Apparently, disabling the firewall wasn't enough. I finally noticed that the machine that was not giving me errors was running Kerio version 4.1.3. The two machines that were giving error messages had the new version 4.2 installed. I UN-INSTALLED Kerio Personal Firewall 4.2, and WOW, everything worked like a charm - NO more I/O error messages when using QTR !! Previously disabling the firewall didn't work. Only UN-INSTALLING Kerio 4.2 did the trick. There may be a new "default" setting in the Kerio 4.2 release that can be re-configured so that it doesn't cause the error messages. I don't know as I haven't gotten that far yet. If other members of this group having I/O 32 error problems are Kerio users, you might want to check your version number, and if 4.2, un-install it and see if it clears up the error problem. Of course, we still have to find a Firewall that works or find out how to configure Kerio so that it doesn't interfere with QTR. Apparently the suspicious Windows Update was innocent :-) Cheers, Tony
