my firewall is having problems...
this is what i tried doing...
i opened Security Center
then doing the firewall recomendations and it said Turn On Windows Firewall for all network connections, then i press enable...
then it said:
We're sorry. The Security Center could not turn on Windows Firewall. To try turning on the firewall yourself, go to Windows Firewall in Control Panel. In the Windows Firewall dialog General Tab, select On (recommended), and then click OK.
so i clicked Windows Firewall like they said, and then this is what happened:
Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you wan't to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Sharing (ICS) service?
when i click yes
it says Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service.
what do i do?
here is my most recent log file:
