Windows Firewall won't Start - SOLVED!!!
Wiloroc:
Hello again, I have been out of town and out of touch.
I am back again to get this issue solved, especially with the new revelation of the SSL issue with websites.
Here is screen shot of WMI check. It looks like the screen shot you provided.
Most of what is in the background came that way with the computer. I have weeded it out using glary utilities. I'll keep working it. But I am sure that is not what is blocking the firewall.
Shane:
So far everything is checking out. I wonder if it isnt a permissions or registry problem but maybe a system file it needs has been replaced or missing.
One option is to do a repair install, this way any missing files or settings get replaced while still keeping all your programs.
Firs you need a Windows 7 disk that has SP1 on it. You can grab it here

Then just follow this :-)

So that was fun - it took all night to upgrade.
However, the firewall still does not start, the computer seams to run slower, and the links in emails now don't work, all of this is backed by screen shots
Shane:
I did a lookup on the outlook error and it seems to have something to do with IE itself.
Do you have chrome or firefox? If you do open one of them and make sure to set it as your default browser.
Also now that the repair install is done are you able to go and do all the Windows updates?

Wiloroc:
Yes, all of the essentials and the optionals I chose. took a bit but they downloaded and installed.
Today I got the pop up shown in the screen shot below. The code I used was the one on the bottom of the computer.
and the firewall still does not start. Same exact error code it was presenting before.
And also my chasis fan is running alot more than before, dumping a lot of heat.
