Hi all,
I got a problem using OpenVPN 2.3.1(released on 2013.03.29) :
Once connected to a server, each time I start having netwok traffic, after about 2 minutes the entire system freezes. I can move the mouse pointer for about 5 seconds, then it can't move either and I have to reboot pressing the tower button.
I'm using OpenVPN under Windows 7 32bits.
I tried to install a VMWare with a Windows 7 32bits inside : it crashes both the guest and the host !
So I finally re-installed a fresh Windows 7, in dual-boot, with nothing but OpenVPN : it works, no crash.
Do anybody have an idea about what could be in conflict on my system ? I had Comodo firewall, I uninstalled it, but it's still crashing.
Any help would be appreciated !
Thank you in advance people... ^^

Re: OpenVPN crashes the entire system Windows 7 32bits
Problem solved by myself :
I searched for a while what could interfere with OpenVPN.
I had Comodo Unite installed (it's a VPN program, like Hamachi), so I removed it -> still crashing.
I removed VMWare too(cause it has 2 virtual network cards) -> still crashing
I removed VirtualBox(cause it has a virtual network card) -> still crashing
I couldn't see anything matching my research in my programs list(control panel).
So I directly watched in C:\Program Files\ and felt on PC Tools Firewall.
I can't remember installing this program, I didn't know it exist until I found it. Maybe it was installed with another software ? I'm usually quite carefull with that, though... errare humanum est.
Note that this program doesn't appear in my uninstall program list in the control panel, I had to launch the uninstaller manually from the program files. PC Tools Firewall doesn't have any icon neither, it just have a background service.
After removing PC Tool Firewall, all went well. Now I can use OpenVPN for hours, with out any problem.
I hope this will be usefull for someone else !
