Note: A Firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Firewall blocks some 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.

    When I try to turn on the Windows Firewall, I get a sign message that says "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display the firewall settings."

    I found another thread in Microsoft Answers relating to this problem, but who said to go into Services and see if the firewall is configured to automatically start.  However, I can't find a Windows Firewall item in the Services Menu.

    I have the PC Tools Spyware Doctor antivirus.

    I had to do a complete recovery system... which sets just need to make sure that you back up your files.

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.

  • Can not enter the Windows Firewall settings

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what my problem is? When I try to enter my WF in the Panel, he won t let me do that. A message just because of an unidentified problem, windows cannot display only my windows firewall settings.

    Because of the informative posting, I would say you should ask Microsoft why you aren't able to open the firewall settings.

    If you're ready for a serious debate please let us know which mode of laptop you have, which OS is preinstalled it and which antivir application you use.

    Good bye

  • Cannot turn off the LEDS on Cisco Aironet 1141

    I am trying to turn off the LED on a Cisco Aironet 1141 p/n AIR-AP1141N-A-K9.  It is a standalone AP and the CLI I publish this command:

    turn off the display of #led AP (config)

    The light does not go out after you type this command.  If I "run" it appears in the config so that the order has been accepted.  Is there another way to turn off the LED?  I'm under JA1 IOS Version 12.4 (21a).

    If you have the AP 1141 under warranty, you can send an email to [email protected] / * / PA serial number and they can post you the picture ask you.

    You want to say "Thank you"?
    Ne. Just note the useful responses,
    It is more useful than 'thank you'.

  • Cannot turn off the issue of jam and paper cartridge (both at the same time)

    I have a HP Officejet 8600, running on a wireless home network.  The printer will not work.  We get two messages. 1. Introduction to jam, and I'm going through all the steps to clear paper, including the search for pieces of paper, as well as any leaves.  I found no paper, whole or in part anywhere in the printer.  2. at this point, I get a message that I have a problem with a printer (of ink, installed correctly, etc.) cartridge.  Simply replace us all cartridges, so I know that we are not out of ink.  However, when I opened the door to the area of printer cartridge, the cartridge does not move where I can check it out.  There's just right.  So I'm "stuck".  I don't know how to get the cartridge door to roll over so I can check!  I turned off the computer several times and tried to reset things, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

    Followed - I turned off the printer.  Then opened the cartridge and reaches into the printer access door.  Without moving the cartridge door, I pressed each cartridge to make sure it was placed correctly.  Then, shut the door and back running the printer.  The printer seems to start correctly.  I then opened the door, the door-cartridge moved where I could access them normally.  I double checked that each cartridge is installed and closed the door.

    At this point, everything seems to work properly.
