so, I decided to download a few, and would like a decent ratio (which I'm sure uploading shows would help, will work on that later, I'd like to think having been a 'contributor thru others' as of late would forgive my errors here)

did the tester thingy, and it can't read the IP/blah blah (did that like a week ago)

99% sure it's Vista Business for an OS (didn't reboot to read the screen, I bought the laptop from an ex who I'm still friends with)

Windows Firewall is off, with NO way to turn it on (thru admin or otherwise)

and while Norton is on here, it's expired, and in the ex's name (though I'm still friends with her)

so, since I can't turn Windows Firewall on, there's no way to access the ports thru there.

and since I can't access the Norton, same problem.

anyhow, any idea how to get into port 80 to un-firewall it currently? or should I bite the bullet and ask the ex for the password/update Norton? (to me easier than subscribing myself). I spent about 4 hours on google and gave up, maybe my verbiage is incorrect when searching.

apologies for the ramblebabble.
