Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

When I try to start windows fire wall i get a pop up telling me the service
isn't running, and I tell the pop-up to start the service.

It then says that the service has failed to start.

It gives me the service-specific error code 5. (0x5)

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Any way to reinstall the windows firewall service?

See if you can reset the firewall. The procedure for XP will work on Vista.

http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/resetfw.htm

If that doesn't work, then you should get on the phone with MS, if you have
a retail version of Vista. Upon the activation of Vista, you have 180 days
of free support.

Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

NETSH FIREWALL RESET won't work, it says "The service has not been started."

And the click by click process tells me to click an "Advanced" tab where no
such tab is available.

Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

In the Start Search box type services.msc and press the Enter key. Make sure
all the services that say Automatic are started. Once they are all running
reboot the computer. You may have to do this a couple of times. I don't know
if this will work in Vista but I saw an XP computer with the exact same
symptom today. This procedure fixed it. Something had interrupted the
Windows Update process and many automatic services weren't starting on boot.
As soon as I started all the services manually Windows Update finished
installing something and a couple of reboots later all was good.

Well go to Services and start the FW service.

Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

Did you even read my post? The service crashes on start.
That's what the error message came from.

Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

Ok, I organized them by start up type, these ones have start up type
Automatic but will not start and are not started:

Error Reporting Service
MPICH2 Process Manager
Windows Firewall
Windows Media Center Service Launcher

I can not start them. I get various error messages such as file not found,
etc.
Rebooting does nothing this problem has persisted for some time.
Windows Update didnt fix it when I tried, but I'll run it again just for
kicks.

Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service

It sounds like you have a different problem. On the XP computer I was
working on there were many services stopped.

I read your post. It still doesn't mean you couldn't go and manually start
the service. I suggest that if you have a retail version of Vista and it's
within the 180 days period of activation, then call MS for support. What I
suspect is maybe malware has taken out the FW.
