Hi, i am suing Windows XP and facing some serious problem with Firewall. No matter what i do, Windows Firewall is just not starting up. When i try to start it manually from Services.msc applet, it gives me an error message saying:
"Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer.
Error 5: Access is denied."
Somebody suggested me to uninstall the firewall using "sc delete Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" command, but when i try to do the same, it ends up with an error message saying
"[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service."
I tried several more troubleshooting such as re-installing the entire Service Pack, running sfc /scannow, but yet no success. Hope somebody from here can help me starting Windows Firewall. Thank you.
