interesting.
how about some output from "sc qc mpssvc". I'm particularly interested in
the value for service_start_name.
Also, if you can fire up the services control panel, what are the
settings
on the log-on and recovery tabs?

Error 5 is typically 'Access Denied'.
from an elevated command prompt, type 'net start mpssvc <enter>'. If
the
service doesn't start, type 'sc query mpssvc <enter>' and reply back
with
the output.
Even if the service does start, we still need to investigate why it
didn't
start on its own.
There are many reasons for it not to start. The easy ones are:
1) another firewall on the box has turned it off to prevent
configuration
conflicts between the two programs.
2) a service the firewall depends on is not starting
3) a security profile has been applied to the machine which disables
the
service
4) domain group policy has turned it off

When I try to start windows fire wall i get a pop up telling me the
service
isn't running, and I tell the pop-up to start the service.
It then says that the service has failed to start.
It gives me the service-specific error code 5. (0x5)
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Any way to reinstall the windows firewall service?
