When I try and enabling the firewall on my computer I get the message:
"Windows cannot start the windows firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
service." What is wrong??

I recently downloaded the Beta version of Microsoft Anti Spyware. I ran the
tool and remove a bunch of files that appeared bad.
 
Chances are that a service necessary to start the firewall has been disabled
for some reason. If you haven't already upgraded to SP2, but you cleaned
your system using the MS antispyware program, now would be a very good time
to upgrade.

Hi

If you don't have WinXP SP2 installed, try this one:

http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html


Please try this if you have SP2 for WinXP installed:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.


If that didn't work, see if registering the following DLLs helps:

From Start/Run, run the following commands:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

then

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll

Then do a reboot.
 
I just the same thing. I call my ISP and they FIXED!!! the problem. It has to
do with the "winsock". You have to repair it. It doesn't take more than 5
min. Call your internet provider and they will give you the code to repair
it. Anti-spyware Beta deleted your info.
Hope this helps.
