Cannot access the Windows Firewall
The thing is I did an ad hoc network with my dads laptop computer and it seems that I have to use Windows Firewall to enable ICS but every time I click on "change firewall settings a dialog box saying: Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running." You want to start Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)?
Yes/No
After I clicked on yes I get another dialog box saying: due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.
Ok
I have no idea on what to do. Can anyone help?
Hi Mawuko wassel,
· Do you have any other firewall software or security running on the computer?
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

c. restart Windows,
d. click Start, click run, type cmdand then click OK.

On my Eee PC under XP Home edition tablet, I get the error "Windows cannot start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ICS) service" when I try to access my firewall. I also can't connect to my router Wireless Lan to go on the internet. This may be due to some viruses that have been deleted using Microsoft Security Essentials.But the problem persists. Could recharge SP2 solve this problem or am I condemned to reload the operating system?

Download a FREE program called Revo Uninstaller
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html>. It allows to uninstall any program completely, including the files of monitoring programs. works very well, that you should have no problem more reinstall after uninstall this program.
Just don't allow the computer to restart if the part of Revo Uninstaller asks you if you want to restart now or later. Select afterwards and let Revo finish an orphan looking for registry entries. Reboot after Revo ends.
TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), readhttp://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Original title: network router, XP computer and Windows 7 laptop computer dilemma.
My system XP computer is part of a network using a router. I also have a laptop Windows 7, using the same network. Reference Dell set up a password so that the network is not accessible without password, reducing the risk of piracy. Now, I can not in the XP system because of the defined password. How to reset or enter the password on the XP computer?
Hi Scottid2,
1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?
2. What is the password being set by Dell?
You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.
You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.
For more information, see the articles:
Why can't I connect to other computers?
Networking of computers running different versions of Windows
As the password is set by Dell, you can also consult with support of Dell for the same thing:

Original title: "Missing mdsdrv.sys driver is missing on my system so I can't launch the firewall. No idea how to restore this driver? "
I tried the solution of SFC/SCANNOW - nothing appears. The TXT file is empty.I tried the solution repair.bat - nothing - not even sure it ends; the black screen disappears without any messages
I tried the Microsoft Fix - it - nothing outside of a message 'Sorry - you'll have to Fix-it-yourself' telling me the firewall must be enabled manually. YES, I KNOW WHO!
I'm going crazy that I installed and uninstalled various malware detectors/antivirus programs and still no change. I'm sick to death of it and above which, I can not install my new printer/scanner because he needs the firewall so that it can communicate with the laptop and of course the firewall is in a coma so don't not speaking.
My husband has a computer on which the Firewall works, can I just copy the folder more or what I need to back up and reinstall Windows 7?
Hello Kiwipon_CC,
Do you have any other software installed that contains a firewall? How long have you had this problem and have you made changes to your front the computer this error? You have installed new software before it happens?
Firstly, I would like to launch a full analysis of the software removal antivirus and malware, you have already done. I would then run a SFC scan to see if it can fix this problem.
