Cannot enter Windows firewall settings

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what my problem is? When I try to enter my windows firewall in control panel it wont let me do this. A message just says due to an unidentified problem windows cannot display my windows firewall settings.

Hi
Found this useful information:
If you have the APC service loaded on your system, there is a flaw in which the JRE
certificate embedded. If you will disable the APC service and reboot the notebook, the firewall settings should come back and the systems will continue to work.
APC recommends updating the software version of their product to the
latest version.
Greetings

  • AGPM 4.0 SP2 Editors cannot open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" area of a GPO

    When attempting to Edit a checked-out GPO in AGPM, & navigating to "Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - LDAP://CN...." Editors
    get:
    "There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in
    An error occurred while trying to open the policy.
    Error: The system cannot find the path specified
    Code 0x3"
    This happens with GPOs that existed prior to AGPM install where the GPO was "controlled", and with new Controlled GPOs created within AGPM.  A workaround is to grant the user Full Control within AGPM (and have them re-launch Group Policy Management
    MMC via Shift right-click "Run as different user"), but this circumvents the Change Control we are attempting to use AGPM for.  Any ideas of how to fix this, or how to file a bug report?
    Also, changes made to Incoming Firewall rules do not show up in the AGPM Settings or Differences reports.  I'd imagine this is related to the known issue described on the Release Notes page here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458958.aspx

    Hi Fabian - Thanks for the response.  I checked & the AGPM Server is on a subnet that was not mapping to any AD Site.  Based on its subnet/location, it actually should be in the same Site as the PDCe.  I added a new Subnet definition to
    AD & waited until "nltest /dsgetsite" was reporting the correct Site on the AGPM Server.  Now, with just Editor role, I can access the Advanced Firewall area of a checked out GPO from my AGPM Client, which is correctly in a different AD Site. 
    I think this might have solved it.
    Should this requirement be added to AGPM documentation?  "AGPM Server must be installed on a server that is in the same AD Site as the DC holding the PDCe role."
    Thanks for the tip!

  • I cannot access windows firewall due to an unspecified error

    I have no access to the firewall so I cannot configure it.

    This forum is for Firefox questions. The Windows firewall is not part of Firefox. For Windows help, try going to http://support.microsoft.com/.

  • Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, Cannot Change Windows Update Settings

    Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, and I've been encountering difficulties in Windows Updates Settings. I want to change my settings on Windows Updates so I can install important software from the Internet. But the problem is it prompts this message "SOME SETTINGS
    ARE MANAGED BY YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR" as well as "NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES(NOT RECOMMENDED). Please help me to fix this problem... It is really important to me... I hope you can resolve this technical issue.. Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Before going any further, I would like to verify if your pc is in a domain.
    If your computer is part of a domain,  this feature may be disable via GPO by your system administrator. You may need to contact it with your IT department.
    If it is not in a domain but the issue appears, please make sure you are logging on with system administrator account. In addition, if any security program
    is installed, please temporarily disable it.
    Meanwhile, please check the GPO settings on your PC:
    1. Click Start, type “gpedit.msc” and press enter.
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates ->
    Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured.
    3. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates->
    System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of “Turn off access to all Windows Update features” is Not Configured.
    Hope it helps.

    Hello:
    I have win7 Professional, have same problem as in this link. I have made those change as mentioned. But, still my computer's windows update setting is not allowing me to change. It is grayed out, and set at "Check for updates but let me choose whether
    to download and install them".
    I am its administrator, it is in a workgroup, but it was put in by 'Best Buy Geeks'. I am able to use gpedit.msc, regedit, and also can run cmd as administrator.
    I want to change it. Any suggestion, please!

  • Windows firewall keeps switching itself on!?

    I have a funny problem that the Windows firewall seemingly refuses to accept that there is another firewall on my computer, and instead keeps switching itself on. I keep turning it off all the time, but it just won't take no for an answer.
    Every time I start my computer the Windows firewall is on, as well as the Comodo Internet Security firewall that is the firewall I want to run. The Windows security center reports that both firewalls are on (so, in particular, it recognizes Comodo), so I turn off the Windows firewall. This I have to do after every reboot. Also, as soon as I switch from cable Internet connection to wireless connection, the Windows firewall silently turns itself on again. This is a problem since it screws up my wireless connection to have two firewalls running at the same time. Again, turning the Windows firewall off manually works just fine --- or so the system says --- but when there is a change of connection status from cable to wireless the firewall is turned on again.
    I have spent quite some time now trying to solve this problem. I finally asked at the Comodo user forum, and got the advice to run services.msc, go to Windows Firewall, right click to get properties and then change the start type from automatic to manual. This works, but now I can no longer check the firewall status in the security center since the whole service has been shut down (I get a popup window with the message "Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall service?"). Therefore, it seems to me that this is a pretty big hammer to use just to stop the Windows firewall from respecting being turned off and staying turned off.
    So is there a better way of solving this problem than hacking the settings in services.msc? In particular, could there be some settings for the wireless card that turns the Windows firewall on that I should change instead? I have been trying to search for such settings, but have not found anything. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    To the extent that it is relevant, I am running Comodo Internet Security 3.13 on 64-bit Vista Business SP 2 on a Lenovo X200.

    I think you missed the point, the remote app sends a signal to AppleTV to turn it on. I am not sending any signals to AppleTV to turn it on. There is also no HDMI activity, it is purely network. So AppleTV is waking for whatever reason. It shouldn't wake until I tell it to.
    Your TV doesn't decide to wake itself does it?
    Your VCR/DVD/BR players don't turn themselves on?
    Your PC Doesn't? ... unless you've scheduled it.
    Your car doesn't randomly start itself?
    You see where I'm going with this. There should be an option in ... 'options' to stop this from happening, and also an explanation of what it is doing in the first place. It should not, unless allowed to by the user, wake itself.

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Update downloads fail, initial app installs work fine, Windows 8.1, internet connection and firewall settings fine

    I just installed the CS6/CC applications I use without any issue. I then was prompted to install various updates. All the updates failed and the message says the downloads failed. I checked my internet and firewall settings and they are fine. I the was able to install a different CC application I hadn't installed before. That process worked fine so I retried all the updates. They all failed again and for the same reason. I have even tried a cold system reboot. Nothing works. I am really baffled.
    Has anyone run into this and, if so, were you able to figure it out.

  • Windows 7 Stuck At BIOS Cannot Enter BIOS or Change Boot Media

    My laptop has no problem before. Recently I try to install Windows XP. First attempt fail, so I change SATA at BIOS from AHCI to Compatible, success. However the partition that I want to install Windows XP to is not available. 
    So just to test I choose my Windows 7 partition. Since it want to format the partition, I cancel the installation. After restarting windows, it stuck at bios. I restart again and change SATA to AHCI. Restart, still stuck at bios. This time I cannot enter BIOS, recovery or change boot media. Assuming the boot sector has corrupt, will reseating the cmos battery will fix this  problem. Please help. Thanks in advance. 
    Solved!

    hi kiebloom,
    Yes, you will need to boot without the HDD to try and access the BIOS again. If you're able to access the BIOS using this method, reload the BIOS defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit.
    From here, you can try to:
    1. Re-insert the HDD and press the OneKey Recovery button to reinstall Windows 7
    2. Create a recovery disc for Windows 7, format the HDD and downgrade to Windows XP
    3. Dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows XP (see this guide)

  • Unable to restore Windows recommended firewall settings

    I received an HP Support Assistant notification that my  Network firewall was off. I also saw that Norton internet security and antivirus protection had somehow disappared from my computer. (My service contract is still active and current) I used Norton's remove (though there was nothing there to remove) and reinstall program to restore the Norton program first, then went to Windows Firewall > Customize settings to turn the firewall back on. But when I click the "Use recommended settings" button,  I get the following error message: Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070424 I also tried Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Local Computer, but get the following error message: There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in ...The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in failed to load. Restart the Windows Firewall serice on the computer that you are managing. Error code 0x6D9 I'm just a little bit computer-literate, but not enough to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi, If Norton is running correctly it will disable the Windows firewall and use its own.  There is no need to use the Windows firewall. You may have to go thru the Windows add/remove programs and again run the Norton Remove. Now try reinstalling Norton.

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes store. Get 'Error 11222'. Claims it is being blocked by Windows Firewall when it is allowed through.

    When an external application tries to connect to it through iTunes I get 'Error: 11222'. When I try to connect through the iTunes app it just continuously loads but nothing appears. Diagnostics says that Windows Firewall (Which is being managed by McAfee) is blocking it, even though it is allowed through both firewalls I have. Even when I turn WF off iTunes claims it is being blocked by it. I have done almost everything Apple's support pages have suggested but nothing has worked.

    The 11222 errors can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble. One of the suspects with that is some versions of McAfee Family Protection. For troubleshooting advice, see the following document:
