  • There is more! ... Re: "could not start the Windows Firewall: error no. 5.

    Member of the community of Windows 'rap2pac' has provided a working solution for many of his colleagues in the Windows community. who has managed to "Start" the service of WIndows Firewall except for 'my computer '! * * * *

    My laptop FAS recently survived an attack of one of these "ransom of FBI virus". It took the comprehensive analyses of the, "AVG Free 2013"and "Security Essentials" of Microsoft to find and remove all four of the Trojans, who were in fact the active components of the "FBI virus".

    There was also the necessary research in the 'register', "Temporary files" and the "user files" to locate and delete all newly modified and/or suspicious looking for folders, files, permissions or registry keys.

    Unfortunately, after all signs of the virus seemed to be gone, I discovered that Windows Defender and Windows Firewall were the two people with reduced mobility. Windows Firewall wouldn't start and that's what brought me here... to find a solution.

    I read on and is quickly realized that I was not alone. There are many other victims without Windows Firewall. I came across the answer of "rap2pac", which contained a solution that received "rave." I followed his instructions and applied to my laptop. When I clicked on "Start", to start the Windows Firewall service, a window has popped up with this alert message:

    " ! Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.

    Hello

    You are running a third part of the internet security solution? Many of them include a firewall that is clean and disable the Windows Firewall. If this is the case, you should first disable this one before the attempt to initialize the Windows Firewall. It is not advisable to attempt to run two firewalls at the same time.

    If you have recently deleted (uninstalled) a third party solution, you may need to run a cleanup this provider of software tool to remove any debris WASTE of this program in order to activate the Windows Firewall.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    Also I can't start my Windows Firewall.  I have no idea why my system is so badly damaged - the only situation I had was that my charger no longer works and my laptop crashed.  I also brought my laptop (HP compaq nc4200-Xp) to my daughter.
