When ever i try to my change windows firewall settings i get a message saying the firewall cannot be displayed because the service is not running. Then i go to services under the control panel and try to turn it on and get a message saying Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. How can I fix it?Help with Windows Firwall Problem?Sounds like something (ie:service dependancies) is turned off that needs to be turned on for the Windows firewall to work. These are the services that the firewall needs (they must be set to automatic)...
Application Layer Gateway Service
DCOM Server Process Launcher
Network Connections
Network Location Awareness
Remote Procedure Call
Windows Management Instrumentation
