Impossible to activate the Windows 7 firewall

I recently bought a new HP laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I can't turn on my firewall. When I go into my firewall settings in the Control Panel, it is not yet allow me to click the option "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" to the left. Now, it is stated in my firewall settings "these settings are managed by the NORTON FIREWALL PROVIDER seller application". So I thought that maybe my Norton firewall interfering with it, so I turned off its smart firewall. But I can not turn on my windows firewall. In fact, I can't click most of the options in my firewall to all settings (firewall toggle, settings by default, change settings etc.). The only thing that I can click is the advanced settings and resolution of problems. Any help would be appreciated.

You can choose between Norton Firewall and the integrated firewall of Windows 7. Frankly, I don't recommend Norton/McAfee product then I would completely uninstall that came with your laptop and use the firewall built Windows instead. For antivirus protection, I recommend MS Security Essentials or Avast, Avira or NOD32 (commercial) If you need a free antivirus software. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    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.

  • Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds)

    Hello

    I have problem in View 4.5. When I create the new office with Windows 7 32 bit pool, pool automatic, floating, connected clone, fast prep. After the deployment of Windows 7 machines they had to customize report. After a few minutes's status has changed error (error state View Composer agent initialization (16): impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds))

    Could you please help me, where is the problem?

    I bought licenses for the view with the composer.

    My environment are:

    2 x vCenter server 4.0.0 build 258672 (windows 2008 r2 + Composer 2.5.0 - 291081)

    4 x 4 ESX u2 (2xESX by vCenter server)

    2 x display connection servers x86_64 - 4.5.0 - 293049 (Windows 2008r2) as a single environment. View environment using the server vCenter + 2 composers

    Thank you

    You have KMS license in effect for your Windows 7 Machines.  If this isn't the case, that is the question.

    You have 4 options:

    Option 1: Get KMS licenses in place for Microsoft Win7. -by far the easiest.

    Option 2: Use SYSPREP instead of QuickPrep

    Option 3: Add 1 at a time and activate the link manually clones b4 customization finishes - pain in the rear. Or be creative if it's your test env.

    Option 4: Hack the key "reg" activate this supossedly a composer. Here is the info:

    HKLMsystem/CurrentControlSet/services/vmware-viewcomposer-ga/SkipLicenseActivation to '1'.

    Of course the Win7 Office will be up to the period-eval evaluation mode expires but can be useful in a temporary unit or POC.

    The foregoing is not tested I tried it in my environment but do not know if it works because I don't want to mess with my installing any further until my POC is complete.  But it seems to work.  I found no key but went ahead and created.  Seems to work.
