No, it will boot only with last known configuration that worked chosen at the boot options menu (pressing f8). So neither firewall works when done this way and I can only uninstall them which brings on the BSOD again. I tried it again several times again last night and saw each installed some kernel drivers but don't think that would shift the irq's of the nic's. I'm sending the emails from windows right now.
