I disabled Windows Firewall thinking that it would help a computer game download work and now I can't turn it back on! I tried this: Right-click Command Prompt (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose
Run as Administrator. Type (or Copy and Paste) the following command: winmgmt /verifyrepository. It said WMI is consistent. Ever since I've done that I've had even more trouble. I clicked on: Turn Windows Firewall on or off and clicked continue. Then it said: Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall service? Then when I clicked on Yes it said Windows cannot start the firewall service. Also if I click on Update settings now it does nothing! :sa: Please help!!!!!!!
