Every time I reboot, I find the firewall off. How do I make it stay on

I went through the 2 links you provided and I don't see a match to my
problem. The first one seems to be inability to get to the screens that
let
you turn on the firewall. I have no problem with that. as long as I
don't
power down, each time I recheck the setting it seems to stay on, but the
next day when I boot up, the button for turning on the firewall is no
longer
selected.

HTH, means (Hope This Help), my suggestion is to get another Firewall
better
than the windows one to protect you from intruders and hackers like
ZoneAlarn
from here:
http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/information/znalm/zaReleaseHistory.html
But how do you have two instances for windows Firewall running and did you
disabled or terminated one of them?.
Do you have Anti-Virus try to run a scan and make sure all clean.
