firewall for sp2
Before my old harddrive died I ran microsoft sp2 with windows firewall
without any problems. But now I can't use windows firewall with sp2. After installing a new hard drive I upgraded my xp home edition which ran on sp1 to sp2 like I did before. I had windows firewall for sp1 but for some reason it's deactivated for sp2. see pictures he http://img318.imageshack.us/img318/5900/firewall4qf.jpg I canot turn it on. I follow directions and it comes to this. http://img318.imageshack.us/img318/597/25ag1.jpg as you can see the choices are DEACTIVATED. so i tried using "default settings" and i get the same problem. no firewall. and finally... http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/8569/lastly5gh.jpg this shows that i'm running aruond without firewall. I'm using kaspersky antivirus se professional if that helps. It doesn't have it's own firewall. I even had windows firewall with sp1 while kaspersky was on I am the admin of my own computer and no other users aer using it. so in conclusion how can i activate windows firewall? should i deinstall sp2? Thank you |

Thank you You might have a service that the firewall is dependant on disabled, look in admin toolsservices. Or install this one.

I hope that this may be of some help to you,sorry if it is not , I have XP
Pro and I have auto update on and in the last 1-2 weeks something happened and now I try to turn on my firewall and the arrows go up when I click on it but it remains on off I have no idea why but it seems to me that it is linked to one of the last updates that were done. Hope this helps because I do not know anything about computers.I am here to fix this problem myself. Bye!

The second jpg says that group policy settings are locking you out. Home
edition doesn't actually allow you to have group policy so its unusal to see this setting applied unless some other application is playing games with your registry. run regedit.exe and delete the regkeys under: hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\win dowfirewall -- David Microsoft Windows Networking This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
