How can I activate the Windows Firewall?
When I click on it in the Control Panel, I get a message that says "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display WIndows firewall settings".
I use Microsoft Essentials antivirus.
Hi Tom,
A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.
Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.
How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?
Hope this information helps.

I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?
I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.
I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.
I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Thank you

HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.
Hi Winston/Hewlit,
Thank you both for your advice.While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.Thanks again for your help,M -
"Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" on Windows XP
Operating system: XP w/SP3. MS Security Essentials installed. Problem: Cannot enable or disable the Windows Firewall; When you try to do, following statement appears; "Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.l
I've seen this before when I try to make appear the firewall configuration panel before that my computer has started completely. Wait a few minutes and try again has always worked for me... But in this sense, it is possible that a piece of the network process which depends on the firewall is not started on your system. Try to examine your system and Application logs:
(Start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc") or
Start-> programs-> administration-> event viewer tools
and look for errors in the process that may not have begun.HTH,

OP: Problem with Windows XP service pack 3__ firewall settings
When I try to view the settings of the firewall, a dialog box appears saying "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings".
I read a thread on a file to merge with the registry of XP SP2. I did not like I do not know if it would work with SP3? or should I do something else?
In addition, why is that happening? What is the problem with the Windows Firewall? If this has happened for some time is a Microsoft patch that can be downloaded instead of trying to make mergers of registry (I'm not very happy to do).
Thank you

I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:
