I had problems with KDE. The firewall blocked it so I could not start
KDE. After I took off Service Pack 2 it ran just fine. I looked at the
firewall but not being a KDE expert had no clue on what ports needed to
be added and which ones did not. It did add two services into the
firewall that KDE used but ot still would not start. It would freeze on
the splash screen.
Unfortunately, the XP firewall's automatic popup when a program tries to
open a port doesn't work if the program is a service that cannot
interact with the desktop.
Try starting the KDE processes as ordinary processes and see what alerts
pop up.
