The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error 5: Access is Denied Code When Trying To Initialize Firewall

Asked by frogpad in Windows Network Security

Tags: 5, denied, error, access

Hello, thanks greatly in advance for your help. I have been pulling my hairs and teeth out over this.

I basically just got a subscription to a proxy service, and have installed their firewall program that interfaces with their proxy services. However whenever I try to launch the program it keeps giving me this error:

Function: InitializeFirewall
Error#5
Description: Access is denied

I can't figure out why this is. I've tried disabling my Windows Firewall (I am using XP Home), disabled spyware, and disabled antivirus. Same problem. I do have admin privileges on my computer too. I've tried on another computer though and it worked just fine. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
