| | Re: firewall won't start Try running this command in an elevated command prompt netsh winsock reset Reboot and then try enabling the firewall. This recently worked for me in servicing a customers machine with the same problem. -- "Johan" <Johan@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:07ECB0EF-586E-448A-B61A-8C0CE8469FAB@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > My firewall gives me this error message when i try to set it on. > "Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service." > I have just installed SP1 but the problem started before that. |
