I don't find Windows Firewall in my list of services. Where and how do I get it back?

I am running Windows VIsta. I am leaving a program through my Windows Firewall and whenever I double click the firewall icon in the Control Panel, it opens and tells me that I do not use recommended firewall settings and then I click on update settings and he know Windows could not update the settings. Then I click on the Windows Firewall enable or disable the link on the left side and he know "because of a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings. I searched and found a comparable discussion topic and opens the window to see what the settings were on it and start it manually if I had to but I can not even find the Windows Firewall Service in the list of services. Where it is and what can do to find it?

Hello

Do you have any third-party firewall installed on the computer?

Method 1:
Run the tool fixit from the link below and then search for the question.
Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service:
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

Method 2:
If you have any third-party firewall on the computer, it can disable the windows firewall. So, you can disable the other third party services that are installed on the computer.

If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks
You can also try uninstalling the firewall installed on the computer and check.

Method 3:
You can also perform a SFC scan and check.

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    ___________________________________________________

    And please read this, you can:

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you had a 7 upgrade that you have bought yourself on the HP laptop, use programs Key Finder for the PK:

  • I installed LeechBlock and now I can not find! Can someone tell me where and how to access it?

    Hello

    I'm new to using addons, so please forgive my ignorance. I installed LeechBlock and now I don't see where to find it. Can someone tell me where and how to access it? I looked under Addons on the Tools menu, but this is just options to install addons more.

    I thought there would be a button on the toolbar, or even a new toolbar, but I don't see anything...

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, you are almost there! When you look at the Add - ons you must select the Extensions on the left side, and you should see and your AdBlock plus. It can also be a button on the bar of 3 menu - but I'm not familiar with that particular module so cannot be sure about that.

    Hope that helps.

  • CTRL + F 'Find' is disabled on my Firefox 34. How do I get it back?

    CTRL-F ("find") in the Edit menu is disabled (i.e., "grayed out"). How do I get that back so I can search in a page? It would also be nice to have the function of status bar that brings back too.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
