Can't access Windows firewall

When I click "Firewall" in Control Panel nothing happens. I ran "sfc/scannow" in cmd as I was suggested, and it replied that it found damaged files but couldn't repair them. Any solutions?

Hi marars,
“found damaged files but couldn't repair them”
Run “chkdsk” to check the health of the disk before you run “sfc/scannow”,sometimes the bad sectors of the disk may result in the repair`s failure. You may need to try to run “Sfc/scannow” in safe mode to have a repair.
If it still cannot be repaired, please check the logs related to this operation in this path:%WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. You may need to manually replace a corrupted system file with a known good copy of the file.
Here is a link for reference:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/929833
After doing this ,check the "Windows Firewall service " from the service controller .
If the issue persists and if it is possible ,a system restore may be a solution.
Please note that it may cause a conflict if there is a third party firewall in the machine .
best regards

Can't access windows or dv6t-3000 recovery partition after unix boot menu removal.

I have a dv6t-3000 laptop running Win 7 Home premium 64 bit; my son had put a unix partition on it. Since I tried to bypass the unix boot menu using MBR (the idea of my brother, the IT professional) the laptop just gives a unix error message at startup (error: no such partition. grub rescue> _) If I hit escape while starting up I get the startup menu including F11 System Recovery but Fn+F11 (it's a laptop) does nothing and hitting the F11 key itself just sends me back to the Unix error message.
Shamefully I never made a set of recovery discs; how can I boot into Recovery? Would the Recovery USB flash disk utility work, or screw things up further? Any help would be appreciated!

Sadly, I must recommend that you purchase a recovery disc set.
Playing around with Linux ( probably ReiserFS) and MBR does bad things to the Windows boot sector. One option is to reinstall GRUB. The second option is If your brother can find a Windows 7 64-bit repair disc for you, then you may be able to repair the boot sector. That should make the original Windows 7 installation useable again. Otherwise you will need the recovery disk set to restore all functionality, including the recovery partition and the F11 recovery manager access.
Sorry to bear bad news.

Windows 7 64bit can't access Windows 7 32bit within the local network

Hello,
We have one 64bit PC and ten 32bit PCs in our local office network.
Recently the 64bit PC is unable to access some of the other 32bit PCs in random basis. When it happens, all the other PCs are unable to access the 64 bit PC.However, the 64bit PC can still access the internet without problem.
Everything will be back to normal after rebooting the 64bit PC.
Is there any solution about this problem?

Hi,
First, this is not related to a 32 bit machine or a 64 bit machine, also I want to know how can you access the other computers, visit a shared folder or remote desktop connection? This is related a network issue.Check whether the network discovery
is turned off, to turn on network discovery:
1. Open Advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click Change advanced sharing settings.
2.Click the chevron Picture of the chevron icon to expand the current network profile.
3.If network discovery is off, under Network discovery, click Turn on network discovery, and then click Save changes.
Details about shared folder visit can be seen:

Can't Access Windows and Storage Paritions

I've been trying to figure out how to access partitions on my system other than the Arch Linux partition. I am currently using KDE and I suspect the problem my arise from here. If I just boot into a console or open up one with Ctrl+Alt+F2, I can manually mount and access all drives. Additionally, if I am logged into KDE as root, I can still access all drives. The problem only appears when I attempt to access the drives as a user. I have given the user all administrative privileges. When I click on the drive to access it, however, Dolphin prompts me for a password. Naturally, I enter the password I use for the root user but that seems to be the wrong password. After a few more attempts with different passwords, I get an error saying:
"An error occurred while accessing '60.0 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
I don't know why I would be blocked from accessing this drive especially since I have the root password.

It's asking for your user password; not the root password.
Is your user account in the sudo group?

Can't access Windows 7 network nor homegroup via router or ad-hoc

I have a really annoying problem. I have 2 clean computers. They were formatted and Win 7 ultimate was installed on both computers. They have a PCI wireless card (D-Link DWA 525). Their hardware is identical, same motherboard, etc, beside the "server"
is pentium 4 and the "client" is celeron.
We have 2 routers and 1 modem. The first router, Airport Extreme, act as DHCP server, and provides the wireless network. The second router (TimeCapsule), connected thought ethernet to the first router, extends the wireless network (act as a bridge). I can connect
to the network and the internet works fine.
The problem is with the local network.
I can see both computers on the network tab. I can ping both by IP and by name. I made a Homgroup on the computer "Server". The computer "client" joined. I can see the libraries. Both computer's firewall are disabled. All firewalls from
the routers and the modem are disabled.
Double-clicking the library on the Homegroup does nothing. Trying to access the shared folder by \SERVER or by the network tab gives error "network path not found".
Basic settings, like file and sharing, etc, are on. Password sharing is off. Encryption is 40 - 50 (not the 128, I don't remember the specific number).This is both for Home and Work and Public networks.
Because I couldn't access the network, I decided to make an ad-hoc. Same problems. Even with static IP (192.168.0.1 [server] and 192.168.0.3 [client], 255.255.255.0 subnet) and NetBios forced at enabled.
I just can't make it work. I have tried a lot of info from here and other forums, but nothing has work. The worst is that another PC will join the network, but I haven't do it yet just because I can't make these PCs to work. As a test, I did put the other PC
in the network (Win 7 Home), and the same problem applied.
All the computers can see them in the Network tab, ping either ways with both IP and name, but when trying to access the pc over network, it gives network path not found error.
Yes I have shared files.
Troubleshooting both Homegroup and Network finds nothing wrong or just can't fix the problem.
Please help!

Hi,
I tried and received only errors (i don't remember know which ones).
However, I plugged the PCs via ethernet, let automatic IP address, and now I can access the network from both computers. Homegroups doesn't work because the network is public, but that isn't a matter right now, because I can access the files.
This makes me thing if the problem is the network adapter. In the Advanced tab on Device Manager Properties, I have the follow options, which I don't have idea what are they for:
AC_BE support APSD [disabled]
AC_BK support APSD [disabled]
AC_VI support APSD [disabled]
AC_VO support APSD [disabled]
APSD capable [disabled]
Multimedia/Gaming Environment [Enabled]
Roaming Sensitivity [Medium]
WMM Capable [Enabled]
Do you think some of that options are interfering?
Thank you

I can not access windows partition after an unexpected shutdown

Hello everyone,
while I was working on my windows partition(windows 7 ultimate) in my imac 27' i5, a strong and continuous error sound and black screen appeared without shut down the machine,so I pressed the button( in the back of my monitor which is used to start up my machine).
After that windows partition only starts with safe mode (where so no much I can do),(in normal mode a blue window appears which says something about remove hardware, error and some things which I can not read cause it disappears too quickly (1sec).
So,after several efforts in save mode I understand that there was a problem with an installation of an antivirus program,which had not been installed correctly,and in save mode I got a message of catastrophic failure,and also I can not uninstall or remove this program under safe mode.
Till now I have been advised to delete bootcamp partition,and create it again and run windows again,so do you think this is the only solution?
Is there any way to access bootcamp files and modify under macintosh?
I need to mention that I have imac about two months, and usually I use windows partition (because I work with a program which is not supported by macintosh).
Also, do you think that deleting windows partition and creating again is there any case to harm my mac?
Which edition of windows is better compatible? (If there is one)

There is a Boot Camp forum that can probably do a better job at answering your question. It's possible because your system is messed up in Windows that all you need to do is hold down the Option key when starting your computer and then choose the partition to start from. There isn't a problem with OS X or Windows 7 I suspect it's what you have done by not following instructions on installing and removing software. If you do choose to remove the Windows partition then use Boot Camp Assistant to properly uninstall. You can fin the Boot Camp forum at:

Can't Access Windows 7 Partition after updating OSX to 10.8.2 - Will I be able to get my data back?

Itys does not appear in the boot list after holding down alt. I can still see it in disk utilities as a 66GB partition but it can't be veriefied or repaired from there. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You'll still be able to access it unless a problem occurs. Back everything up first.

I suddenly can't access the firewall tab in the sharing preferences neither

After doing this for hundreds ot times I tried to connect with an Ethernet connection to another computer and could not do it. I went to system preferences/ sharing and found the firewall tab is not accessible and when I try to activate the services it doesn’t respond and are not activated even though they where once.
I tried restoring permissions but it did not work.

Dear BDAqua:
Thank you. Already did. But it did not work out and the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist is not anymore.
I must also say that I can not start any of the sharing services (that where already activated) because when I click the start button, nothing happens.
So I also did the same with the files located in: preferences/SystemConfiguration
preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
And they are there now again but the problem persists.
Thank you for trying to help me

IPDA 2 Safari - can't access windows to close.

Go to the Home screen by clicking the Home button. Bring up the "recent apps" tray by double-clicking the Home button. Touch and hold on the Safari icon until a red "-" appears at the corner. Touch the "-" sign on the Safari icon to terminate it.

How can I disable windows firewall and install cluster software and its service using unattended.xml file?

platform: 2008r2
services which need install: MSDTC Service, Windows Cluster Service, SQL Cluster

Hi,
I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

How can I access Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin?

Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin (in Firefox) is installed on my computer, but it is available to only a few applications. All the applications have a "Use other" application, but I cannot find the above mentioned plugin. Where do I "browse" to actually find it so I can use it with a particular application?

The information you referred me to allowed me to figure out what the name of the plugin file is that I am looking for. However, when I navigated to that file to enter it as the new plugin to use, the only thing that appeared was "No items match your search". Am I correct in assuming that this means that this plugin will not work for the application in question?
If that is true, is there a way to "force" it to use this plugin, just as a test to see if my hunch is correct?

Can't access Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server backup

Hi!
I was wondering if anybody had the same issue and was able to resolve it:
I am trying to restore some files in Shared folders folder from the server backup. I open dashboard, I see successful full backups, for example 18.1. and want to restore a folder from it. But when I start the wizzard I cannot choose these backups as they
do not exist. I am actually able to chose only the latets backup 9.3.
If I go to wbadmin there is only the latest backup - for example 9.3. No other backups are visible even tough the backup disk E: is 1,5TB and nothing else should be there.
Anybody had similar problem?
Thank you!

So let's recap... You open the Dashboard, click on the Devices tab, then
click to highlight the server, then click on on "Restore Files and Folders
for the server"; the Restore Wizard opens and you select next, specify the
backup location ("On this server"), "Restore from backup that I select
(advanced)" and then run through the calendar to select the desired backup.
However, at this point, no additional backups are available in the calendar?
If so, can you estimate how large your backup is (how much of the 1.5TB
drive was taken up with the original backup)?
