| | Re: Windows firewall in Vista Windows security centre In the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type services.msc. Is the Windows Firewall service set to be Automatic at startup? In the Start Menu type devmgmt.msc, and open Device Manager. On the View tab, choose "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden devices". Look for Windows Firewall Authorization Driver (it will have a gold gear icon). Double-click that, and on the Driver tab, make sure the Startup type is set to "Demand".

| | Re: Windows firewall in Vista Windows security centre Right, I've got to the 'sevices' window but i don't have a view tab or anything where i can choose 'show hidden devices'. The only tabs are 'extended' and 'standard' and the only mention of 'view' is on the top menu and doesn't have the required option. Windows firewall shows with a blue gear wheel (so i assume its not the right one), when i go into it it gives start up options of 'automatic' (which it was already set to), automatic (delayed start), manual and disabled - no option for for 'demand' "dean-dean" wrote: > In the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type services.msc.

| | Re: Windows firewall in Vista Windows security centre Your Services setting looks to be fine. You can close that window. The second thing I was talking about is a different console, called devmgmt.msc, or Device Manager. This where you'll find View in the menu.
