Windows XP Service Pack 2 Security Blocking

Details about Windows XP Service Pack 2 security blocking and Genero Studio.

Microsoft™ has added several security systems since Windows™ XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). The firewall included in Windows XP is now enabled by default. From the network point of view, Genero Studio Server and the Genero Desktop Client (used by Genero Studio to display forms) are both considered servers. When you start Genero Desktop Client, or attempt to connect to Genero Studio Server, the firewall detects this and blocks the programs.

A dialog window allows you to choose Keep Blocking, Unblock, or Ask Me Later. Choose Unblock to allow the programs to run. Pressing Keep Blocking or Ask Me Later will continue to block the programs.

If Keep Blocking has been pressed by mistake, you can change this parameter in the Windows Firewall settings of the Windows Control Panel. In the Exceptions tab, add Genero Studio, Genero Studio Server and Genero Desktop Client to the list of exceptions, and make sure that their listings have a check mark.
