Default xp sp2 firewall grayed out.

I am not on a domain, home net work, admin on my machine, logged in as such.
And yet the firewall is grayed out.
I log in to pc with admin rights.
Since I can not turn it off, even with gpedit.msc, I can uninstall sp2.
Is there another option?
Thanks

See if any of this information helps:

FIREWALL DEAD, or other network issues:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892350

MS antispyware tool disables Windows Firewall (or to reset firewall):
StartRun cmd [enter]
netsh winsock reset catalog [enter]
Follow prompts and reboot.
