Home Network not working after installing Family Safety

I have installed Microsoft Family Safety on two (One Windows XP Professional, one Windows 7) of 4 computers (two others - one is XP Pro, other is WIndows 7) in my home, and as soon as I did this, I lost the ability for the computers to talk with one another over the wireless connection (can't even ping their IP address). Networking is not working, but when I connect with an ethernet cable, I can at least ping the IP address. I can also see the "media devices" for the other Windows 7 computer. The Windows XP computers have the link for the network place, but when I click is say the location is not accessible, and I might not have permission to use the network resource - contact administrator (me).

 

Is there something that Family Safety does either on the PC or on the Wireless Router that is causing this? Do I just need to remove it and find another parental blocking solution?

 

Please Help!!

why is outlook.com so dysfunctional, slow, slowing of other programs, and inferior to hotmail?

I use Windows XP professional, and ever since I followed the "upgrade", or rather downgrade, to outlook.com email, the program works very slowly, clumsily, and even slows down other programs and the computer in general.  Is it the ads of the free program that impede performance, or poor application design, or neglect of XP platforms?

 

Is there any fix, or is the only solution to leave this poor email prograqm?

My PC runs Windows XP Professional - Windows live messenger 2009 is applied - When I sign in on windows live messenger my credentials are not kept & saved when I sign out and re-start the computer - It seems that Internet explorer 8 updates interfere with windows live messenger - No problems were encountered with Internet Explorer 7 - The question is how to keep these credentials without installing a new copy of Windows - Thank you and best regards.
