Yes, firewall.cpl is in system32.
I did both chkdsk and system file checker day before yesterday.
Both showed no problems.

First of all I noticed I had not stated that this is on a Windows XP sp3 system. sorry about that. ( if it makes any difference)
I then uninstalled Windows Repair (all in one.)
Secondly, this is my wife's computer and although I am the one who maintains it, .net Framework 4.0
was not installed on it, which was my fault.
I installed .net 4.0 and also installed Windows Search 4.0.
I than ran the above commands, both with and without the quotation marks????? from the start/run window.
It has made no difference in the problem.

I run chkdsk periodically and have never had a problem. I will do it again to be sure.

I went to the Macrium site and downloaded their "Vssfix.exe" utility and that fixed the vss problem.
I always run VSS on "Manual." I only tried doing "Automatic" to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't.

The firewall is running I just can't bring up the page that allows me to turn it off and on.
After a bit of research I turned it off in the registry. So, that isn't a problem.
I just don't understand why I cannot bring up the page that allows me to turn it off and on.
"Windows Security Suite" works fine. I can bring up that page without any problem.
That is how I know the firewall has been turned off.
I really hate it when the computer is smarter than I am ;-}}
Anyway, it is getting tedious so I think I will live with it.
Thanks For your help,
Chuck

No, one way or another, I have to fix it. VSS must run in order to use Macrium Reflect.
Looks like it is time for a system restore or repair if you can't help me.

I disconnected the network and disabled Norton Antivirus, Firewall and Tamper Protection.
I ran "Repair WMI" and "Repair Volume Shadow copy" without success.
Below are the error messages from "Event Viewer."
I hope they help.

Yes. I ran all  of them in an attempt to fix the problem.
However, I will rerun them again just to be sure.

Thanks,

Sorry for the double post. I was not getting an answer on the other forum and I didn't know how to delete the other posting.

I just ran both the Malwarebits Anti-rootkit and the TDSSKiller utilities and both came up clean.

Until I ran the "Windows Repair (all-in-one)," I had the Windows firewall turned off. After running it I discovered the Windows firewall was on. ( I don't need it. I have Comcast Norton Security running.)

I tried running "firewall.cpl" and also the "network connection properties" and in both cases, I receive the "due to an unidentified problem windows cannot display settings". The usual firewall settings window does not come up at all.

I Googled the message and found a lot of solutions which I tried with no success. Including Microsoft's "Fix It Center."
Also, I checked my "services" settings and the firewall is running.

I also tried all this with Norton Security completely disabled.

In addition, I now have a problem with the Volume Shadow Copy.
This also was running fine before, as I used it to back up my registry. But, now, when I try to back up the registry (using Tweaking Registry Backup) it comes on and immediately turns off. This is in spite of the fact it is running under "Services." I tried restarting it and also changing it from "manual" startup to "automatic" and it made no difference.
I have spent several hours trying to resolve this and am stumped.
