windows firewall error

Hi all,

I have a Windows Vista Ultimate laptop part of our domain. Everytime I try
to go into Windows Firewall to change any settings, it just will not launch.
I get the following error:-

Due to an unidentified problem windows cannot display windows firewall
settings.

Any ideas?

Please advise.

Thanks

might be common to both of them. You might want try to investigate and try
to apply one or two of them.

I have tried google and several articles talk about a Shared Key issue in
the registry. When I applied that patch to my vista machine, all other sorts
of issues appeared and I had to reinstall the OS on it.
