Problem starting windows firewall on vista.
Having big trouble with the Other half laptop. Its windows vista home premium 32bit.
I been running zonealams and avira AV on it since day one, But am now using windows FW and Security essential on all my PCs . On her laptop I can't get the windows firewall turned on. All other required services are set to auto & Are running / started. The firewall service is set to auto but doesnt start by default, It also can't be turned on manually either. Tried the following so far normal and safe mode, also activated administrator account and done the same in there. - All registry keys seem to be intacted and set as should be - Ensured all previous AV & FW software was 100% uninstalled - run as admin "netsh firewall set opmode enabled" . - run as admin "netsh winsock reset" - deleted and recreated the user prof - Have created new user - scrolled about 1000 forums regarding this issue but all just point to restarting / reseting winsock via cmd. and all above which i had already done Im getting very frustrated here, is there any other cmd's I could use here? I h any advice would be very good! Nick |

Hey CyberTek.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatley it appears fix it for me only works for XP, But I tried all the other manual sugestions on that link, Also I tried the suggestion on the vista section link in that section also, both with no joy. Surely this isnt going to result in a complete rebuild of the vista build =( |

Hi Nick. It might help if I can see some logs of what is running on her computer. Go here and download DDS to your Desktop and doubleclick on DDS.scr to run it. When the scan has finished, two logs will open. Copy and paste both reports in this topic. The logs will be reasonably large so you may have to divide them into sections and make several posts to post them.
