When I try to start the Windows Firewall, I get an error message that says "Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
I found an earlier thread that disusses this issue, and the suggested solution of running "sfc /scannow" would help fix the issue by restoring any missing system files.
However, I can't seem to do that - my copy of Windows Home XP only has SP1, and the missing files (at least, some of them) are from the downloaded SP2 installation (for which I do not have a CD that the SFC utility wants to access).
Is there a way around this? Is there another utility that identifies any missing system files and can find a different way to restore them?
Thanks!
Eric
