can't start windows firewall

To confirm that required services are running:

Start services.msc
Start > Run > services.msc

Check the following services and settings:

Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing: Startup type - Automatic

confirm that the Status is Started - if not, start the service

Network Connections: Startup type - Manual

confirm that the Status is Started - if not, start the service

Remote Procedure Call: Startup type - Automatic

confirm that the Status is Started - if not, start the service

Windows Management Instrumentation: Startup type - Automatic

confirm that the Status is Started - if not, start the service

If you have to Start a service, be sure to click the OK button after starting.

Black Viper: Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing

mjnc, back in post #9 he stated that he did go and check all his services via BlackViper that I linked to in post #3, so that's been done.

I used blakviper as u suggested. Most of the services are in the table you showed with the proper settings. So there
was nothing else I could do.

I saw that but I thought the response was a little vague, and there was no mention of Network Connections or Windows Management Instrumentation.

My post was just to make it easier to confirm that all of the listed required services were properly set, according to BlackViper's information.

Fair enough. I assumed that he altered the services that didn't match to the BlackViper recommendations but perhaps I assumed too much.

Yes, you're right.
I get a little compulsive sometimes.
I think the info. posted was correct.
You'll probably agree that no harm was done.
