Windows Firewall won't Start - SOLVED!!!

<< < (4/7) > >>

Shane:
The automated phone system should let you activate your keycode on the sticker. So just do that and that should take care of that part.

As for the firewall, what antivirus is currently installed? And does that AV have a firewall service of its own?

Your fan is running much more. Use Task Manager to see if there's a process that takes a lot of CPU time.

Wiloroc:
I use Microsoft Security Essentials

The Links between Outlook and IE are back working after the auto upgrade to IE 11.

Still no Firewall.

Wiloroc:
Forgot to mention the authorization by phone worked like a charm!

I think the fan was going because so many downloads- upgrades were coming through as I was working.

Shane:
Yeah the fan will kick up more when the system gets hotter, and the more the CPU is working the more heat it makes :-)

When the cpu isnt under heavy use, Windows slows the cpu down, uses less power and thus less heat. When the CPU is under a full load it is going full speed, pulling more power and makes a lot more heat.

So from what I can tell everything else is working fine just like it should, all except the firewall. Did you try the Windows Repair after the repair install of Windows yet? Newest version of my tool is v2.6.2
