Repair "Firewall" Advanced tab

(1/6) > >>

Hi

I was recommended to run your Windows repair v1.9.13, but I still have 2 problems.

1) On the "Advanced" tab of Windows Firewall there is a message:

"The network connection settings have become corrupted. To fix
this, click Restore Defaults. This will delete all of your settings for
Windows Firewall, and it might cause some programs to stop
working."


If I do click on "Restore Defaults" I get a window stating:

"Restoring the defaults settings will delete all settings of Windows Firewall that you have made since Windows as installed. This may cause some programs to stop working. Do you want to continue?"

If I click yes, and refresh the tab, it still has the same error message. So uch for that fix !!!!


2) If I right click on "My Computer" on the Desktop and "Properties" it only shows the amount of RAM, not the computer CPU as it always used to. This worked until very recently.

Sounds like the registry permissions are not set right. When you ran my repair tool did you run the reg permissions repair as well?

Hi Shane

I have just gone through the step's I did earlier, and the default was to "Reset registry permissions", so yes I did do it. (It was the 1'st checkbox)

Shane:
Both the problems you report have to do with the reading and writing to the registry.

What version of Windows are you on, and did you run the repairs in safe mode or normal mode? (Normal mode is better)

Reason why is With Vista and newer Windows changed a lot of security to the owner "Trusted Installer" which is the system. When you run the repairs in Windows normally they will run under the system account and have access to those keys. In safe mode it cant run as system account and wont be able to change a lot of those keys. :wink:
