Security Centre / Firewall Not Working
Help please!I don't think my Windows Firewall is working. When I click on the icon I get the message "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall Settings".When I click on Security Centre I get a messsage it is not working and needs to be started. However, when I go in to services their is no option for Security Centre to choose so I am unable to manually start it or set it to Automatic.I use to run McAffee but having had my PC repaired the repairer installed AVG Free and MIcrosoft Security Essentials.I have been impressed by MSE so have cancelled my McAffee subscription and unistalled it together with AVG.I have also taken advice of Forum and used clean up tools on both McAffee and AVG.I am an XP user with the Media Centre version.Any ideas please as to what I can do? - I am not very tecky so simple advice please.Many thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

hi web fixLet me fix it myselfTo enable Windows Firewall, follow these steps:Click Start, click Run, type Firewall.cpl, and then clickOK. On the General tab, click On (recommended).Click OK. Note If the General tab or the On (recommended) option is unavailable, the system may have a policy against running the firewall. Contact the system administrator for more information about how to enable the firewall. In addition, the system may already be running a third-party firewall (Zone Alarm or Norton Internet Security, for example). Contact the system administrator for help in determining whether a firewall is already running on the system
