    yes it will, the problems it had were with xp's firewall, if for some reason you have a problem getting it to run, disable the firewall(if you have it enabled) and it should work like a charm

    There's a reason you have firewalls, and it's to keep hackers out.

    If you want your identity stolen, and your credit cards, for some game, be my guest.

    You can always get zonealarm or something, but giving suggestions like disabling all your firewalls... are just plain wrong.

    I guess you could also disable your internet.

    Well as long as you disable your internet while you play you'll be fine.

    You're big mistake wasn't firewalls, it was going into chatrooms... :p

    A/S/L? That and sex (oh, and bashing people) is all that a chat room amounts too... not to mention most aim women you meet in their chat rooms are... well lets not go there :p

    there are much better firewalls out there than windows own, and I would hazard a guess that most folk on these forums use those instead of windows firewall, I never said disable all firewalls, just windows, guess I should have clarified that, I've always disabled windows firewall and used third party offerings

    Man, you go to the wrong chat rooms. I've made some **** good friends through Yahoo, met a few of them too. ;)

    And, I don't run any firewall, or anti-virus. :p

    I personally use windows firewall and let the firewall on my router protect me (It has two firewalls), but that's just me...

    Yeah, always clarify... You never know when you will say the wrong thing and poof, your lego guy falls to pieces.

    nah zellio yahoo chat rooms arnt different back when i first started using yahoo chat it was cool. you'd hardly ever see people bashing each other but now does you cant chat without someone having a go at you, but on the other hand there is some good people in yahoo chat but they are decreasing.


    back in 97 aol threatened to cancle my account for cussing in the chatrooms and they called me up and said did you say this and that and it was pretty graphic i was like um no but i couldnt help but chuckle about it lol.
