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.

If it's a store's demo model then as far as I know only Apple can potentially change it's iOS version to a non-demo version - you've tried Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings directly on the iPad ?

Satellite A200-17O - How to restore Windows to factory settings?

Hi
I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I do not need to back up any files. I do not have the Product Recovery CD. When I press F8 and click the "Repair Computer" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click the option to fully recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open up a window telling me to back up my data, then theres an "OK" button, and when I click that, the window will simply close and go back to the options menu. All I want is to get Vista back to Factory settings.
Thank you for your help.

Hello
Yes, normally you can restore your notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery option. Therefore you should follow the instructions here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If it doesnt work you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk. If your notebook didnt come with such a recovery disk you have to create it yourself using preinstalled recovery creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?
Therefore you need some blank DVDs. I would recommend DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have good experience with these brands.
If you have more questions, just post again! ;)

Unable to restore laptop to factory settings

I'm very sorry if this is a total repeat post, but everything I have read prior has been unhelpful for my situation.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S6816, and recently many of my drivers have become corrupt and the computer has been working poorly in general, so I thought restoring it to the factory settings was in order, but I have been so far unable to.
I have already backed up all of my files and tried the method of pressing F8 upon start up and navigating to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, but when this loads it just prompts me for the recovery discs, which I don't have, and I don't think they came with the computer, which was bought in 2008.
I have also tried holding the zero key while the computer boots, but this just freezes the computer at the startup screen and does not load the recovery tool.
I still have access to my computer and have read that you can create restore discs using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, but there is no such tool on my computer.
It looks like the problem is that either there is no recovery partition on my hard drive or it is inaccessible, and I don't have the restore discs either, so I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Your system is from the time when Toshiba was just making the transition to consistently putting recovery partitions on their HDDs. As well, your specifications make no mention of the including the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator software. However, the HDD recovery partition/utility is mentioned in your User's Guide, starting on page 57, with the proviso 'Available on certain models'. So, perhaps you have it, perhaps not.
Click on 'Start', type in   diskmgmt.msc , and click on this file. If you have the recovery partition you should see at least 3 partitions, a 'System Reserved' NTFS partition with no drive letter, C: drive NTFS boot partition, and another small partition with no drive letter that is not NTFS.
If you want, attach a picture of that here for us to check. Use PrtScr (Print Screen), paste that into Paint, save it as jpg type file, and attach it back here on your next post.
If your system did not come with a recovery partition, you would have received recovery disk(s) with the system when it was new, which you apparently no longer have, assuming you ever got them.
Whether or not your system has a recovery partition, if necessary, you can still order the recovery disks to rebuild your system:
Ordering Recovery Media
You could also try these third party recovery media suppliers. But, we have no information on them so use caution.

TM2 unable to restore Windows 7 after Windows 8 Release Preview - have restore DVDs, still fails.

Hello! I've pretty much run out of idea's on how to troubleshoot this so I'll do a summary of what I changed with the machine and then troubleshooting details further on. The particular hp touchsmart notebook I have is a TM2 1079cl, Product Number: WA812UA#ABA. I've only had it for the length of 2012, I purchased it used from another person about 1 year ago now specifically to toy with Windows 8 before it's release. As far as the hardwares actual age I can tell from the warrenty information that it was manufactured in late 2009, it states the warranty period was from January 2010 to Jan 2011.
Alright, so my history with the OS changes goes:
-> Purchased this TM2 in early 2012, ran the recovery partition to wipe it clean of the previous owners use and it ran through installation perfectly fine, then on a clean Windows 7 as if it were new. I'd also made use of a bootable Acronis True Image 2010 disk to make a hard disk image of the three other partitions for recovery (though I did not include the freshly installed windows 7 partition, figured it wouldn't matter if recovery could do it's thing right?)
-> Some days later I loaded the second of the three preview releases for Windows 8 onto it (Customer Preview build I believe).   All worked fine and it dual booted between the two without issue, afaik the only real changes it made amounted to converting the primary partition Windows 7 was installed on to an extended partition and splitting the existing Windows 7 partition equally 50/50 inside that extended partition. It had also overriden the boot manager / bootloader that was there before but again not surprised.
-> When Release Preview build came out over summer I did an update from inside windows 8 and all seemed fine still. The change between the two preview builds did develop an issue where I couldn't shut windows 8 down without a handful of error boxes poping up but I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
-> More recently about thanksgiving time I decided to give the laptop to a family member with a archiac desktop that's got issues and general old factor that makes it not worth updating.   This person is pretty adverse to change so that whole "Win8-vs-what people are used to" thing comes into play.   I decided to wipe the TM2 clean back to the OS it shipped with.    Here's where I'm now stuck:
=> Before doing anything I made another True Image of the HDD as a just incase, glad I did.
=> Tried F11 to load the recovery partition only to find that because of the bootloader being tampered with by Windows 8 it doesn't actually go to the HP recovery partition anymore despite still being on the hard drive.
=> Grabbed the hard disk image from the beginning of the year with the recovery partition on it before windows 8 touched the machine, wiped the hdd completely clean, restored the disk image.   I could now get into HP recovery fine but....
=> I got a dialog error right off the bat saying that the recovery partition could not install and instructing me to insert disc 1 of the recovery software. Well I never made the dvd's myself with the one-time use burning feature when it worked so that's out and I had not bought the discs from HP's support site.   At this point I'm puzzled though why the recovery partition can't install despite the computer loading up into recovery just fine. For example command prompt in the Windows PE environment is functional and all files seem to be present. Maybe some verification that the recovery partition isn't pirated might have been triggered by hard disk imaging, i'm really not sure?
=> I then made used of the HDD image I'd just created before trying this and restored the other copy of the drive (Win8 tampered bootloader, Win8 release preview, win7, the inaccessible recovery partition and all).   Windows 7 and 8-RP could still boot.   Googled around a bit about the recovery partition key (F11) getting messed up by Windows 8 and came to find I only needed to set recovery as the "Active" partition to get it to start. Sure enough that got it to start but I'm running into the same issue where the actual recovery partition loads up but now refuses to begin the restore process without HP dvd's. Since I know for certain this worked months ago I guess once again since I ended up restoring that version of the recovery partition it may have also declared itself tampered with... great.
=> Contemplated what to do for a bit and then finally just ordered the DVD's from HP in December, I specifically got the recovery DVD's for my model and they did come from HP directly, not second hand from ebay or another person. Wasn't really that bad, $16, very reasonable price. Should be set right, legit OEM DVD's to use? Nope....
=> The DVD's came. Two discs for main recovery and a third for applications and drivers.   Boot off disc one and it states it's formatting the drive how it wants (good, i'm liking this so far), copies all of the contents of the three discs to the hdd and begins it's reboot and install cycle.    Reboots a handful of times, you can tell it gets well past copying the contents of any of the discs and into installing windows. You see the Windows 7 boot logo a few times and even the standard "preparing your things" background that's similar to the Windows 7 login screen. The screen definitely gets as far as installing the proper graphics driver (and others I assume at that time) as the resolution changes to native for the TM2's LCD near the end.
=> Suddenly on the 3rd or 4th (I think) reboot of installing windows it starts for a moment then says shutting down, it reboots and it's back in the windows PE environment of recovery setup again (this time coming from the hard drive, not the DVDs) and says it's failed to restore and offers to start everything over from the very beginning.
That's where I'm stuck. The Recovery Partition died on me post-Windows 8 and the offical HP recovery DVD's are failing me (and oddly they're failing me seemingly in the very last steps of windows 7 restore, well after the DVD's themselves are no longer being read from).
>> Question 1: Does the HP recovery partition "self destruct" if it gets imaged by hard drive imaging software and restored? I can confirm mine worked fine once and then dead after going through Acronis True Image. Another possibility is maybe there's some ID's or tattooing of the hard drive or specific partitions that was lost when Windows 8 put it's newer bootloader into the machine or lost from Acronis? This is still the oem hdd that came with the computer, it has not been switched out.
>> Question 2: Are there any known problems with the official Windows 7 recovery DVD's for a late 2009 TM2 1079cl? I'm also aware of the Cyberlink recovery software patch / pre-install disc and tried this with results that were no different to without it. That said my machine does have the Cyberlink version of the recovery software, I read there's something like 3 different companies software for recovery depending on time period the laptop was made and sold.
Reference: [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-80183-1 ]
>> Question 3: Plainly put, what now? Anything else to try or do I need to go find an RTM windows 7 disc and scrounge all the driver zips together? (Very much hoping to avoid that, I'm actually pretty curious to really understand what happened here and while that'll work it would answer nothing. hehe).
Maybe related things as well: Some searches led me to believe having the WLAN switch off at the start of recovery causes driver installation to flip out (and indeed win7 seems to drop dead during the last steps of driver install) however it's not possible it would seem to turn the WLAN card "on" before this point. Switch won't bring it to enabled state anyways.   As I mentioned above the Cyberlink recovery software patch has no effect on things.   No parts have ever been changed in this machine, original hdd, wlan card, ram modules, ect.   I doubt the motherboard bios / firmware has ever been updated, machine states it's revision F.02.
I have at my disposal:
* A lot of time, actually, hense why I really want to know what happened and not use the Win7 RTM disc.
* hdd image of HP recovery before Win8 touched the machine.
* hdd image of recovery after Win8 and a kinda buggy but still bootable Win8-RP.
* The correct HP-made recovery DVD's for my laptop, ordered recently (December 2012).
* Confident enough to toy with partition editing tools should it be a suggestion, never really used much outside of gparted on linux live discs however. Considering the current state of the machine there's nothing to risk losing anymore though.
Sorry for the text wall! I like being very detailed!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have the tm2 and have not experience an issue with the recovery and wifi being off, but it certainly is in the realm of possibility. I just had not encountered it on my own tm2, so I subconsciously dismissed it or just didn't think of it as a result.
Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.

I am unable to restore iPod to factory settings

I got my iPod touch before the OS 5 update. So it came with OS 4.
With OS 4, it worked find on my Bose SoundDock.
When it updated to OS 5, it will not play on the Bose SoundDock.
I try to do the restore to factory settings, but it keeps putting OS 5 on it. How do I restore it to its true factory settings, with OS 4 on it?
If I can't do this, then my Bose SoundDock is now a $500 paperweight.

I don't want to downgrade it, I just want it back the factory settings (that is, the way I got it).

Unable to Restore Windows XP on Satellite M55-S139

I installed Ubuntu on my Windows XP on Satellite M55-S139. I didn't like it so I'm trying to run the Recovery disk. I put it in the computer and the process starts. it says it's going to erase my hard drive and replace it with the original default system install. I elect to continue. I watch the progress bar as it copies all the files. The restore completes and it tells me to remove the disk. Then I just keep getting the Toshiba screen it turns black and then comes back on again but never boots up.
I've run the recovery disk 4 times. One time it asked me if I wanted to remove the partitions and I said yes.
Why does it always say starting Windows 98 when I run this disk?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did a lot of searching and most of the proposed solutions require a Windows installation CD.
My computer did not come with Windows XP installation CD, it just came with a Toshiba Recovery CD, which is not the same thing. And I could not create a Boot Disk because my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.
I finally figured out how to remove Ubuntu from my computer and get it to boot in Windows XP.
You need a free program called MbrFix. To use it, You must log in as administrator in Windows Safe Mode.
Start your computer.
Arrow down to Windows
Hit Enter and tap the F8 key immediately.
Log in as administrator.
Open your browser and go to:
http://www.sysint.no/products/Downlo...S/Default.aspx
Download MbrFix. If you can't find it, Google MbrFix, as it's available at cnet.com and other sites.
Then extract the contents to C:\
Go to Start, click on Run and type 'command'
This will open a terminal.
Type 'cd\'
You will get a C:\> prompt
Enter: MbrFix /drive 0 fixmbr /yes
Now the GRUB menu will be gone and you will automatically boot into Windows.
Next:
Delete Ubuntu partition(s) by going to to the Control Panel>Computer Management>Disk Management
Reallocate the empty space to back to C drive.
Done!

Issue Restoring Windows 7 (factory settings)

My laptop Harddrive failed and I replaced it with a new one purchased from HP. I also ordered the Windows 7 re-installations CDs.
I have removed/replaced the Harddrive but get the following error message while trying to install Windows 7 onto the new harddrive: "Windows could not complete installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart installation."
I've tried restarting the installation twice with the same results. Ending with this error message.
How do I get past this and complete the Windows installation?

I figured this out. I initiated the installation again and this time, instead of restarting at the end of the 2 disk, I selected the "Restart Later" option. The laptop proceeded to unzip additional software for a while, and at the end allowed me to initiate Windows for first use. Then I Restarted and Windows started up correctly.

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

Unable to reach Adobe servers, Please check firewall settings and try again

I have been a creative cloud customer since it started and I've never experienced such buggy software as the app manager. The customer experience is just shocking and I wish Adobe would just offer direct downloads for the software we need rather than use the app manager.
I'm currently trying to install the latest versions of the programs but the app manager keeps showing "Unable to reach Adobe servers, Please check firewall settings and try again in a few minutes".
I do not have any firewalls on my network.
I've uninstalled all previous versions of the applications.
The app manager will download a few % and then the message appears again. I click retry and it downloads another few % before showing the message again. I keep doing this until the program is fully downloaded and installed which take hours. Because I am able to eventually download the app, the error should be anything to do with my setup or internet connection as I've never had this issue before when installing adobe products.
Is there a way we can bypass the app manager and install the programs directly? This is getting very annoying and I just need my apps to install without wasting days clicking the retry button.

I'm having the exact same problem. Photoshop is stuck at 0%.
Have the links for direct download changed? When I went to http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.htmland then scrolled down the page to:
Photoshop CC 2014 (64-bit)
740 MB
File 2
801 MB
File 1
and then clicked on File 1 and File 2, I reached a page that says "You don't have permission to access "http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/15/win64/Photoshop_15_LS20_win64.7z?" on this server."

Creative Cloud is telling me "Unable to reach Adobe servers. Please check your firewall settings, and try again in a few minutes.

LAN side firewall settings for Direct Access (Windows Server 2012 R2) in DMZ?

I am currently planning to set up our first Direct Access server (Windows Server 2012 R2). I will be in our firewall DMZ and we will be using the IP-HTTPS listener.
For the Internet facing rule only TCP 443 inbound/outbound is sufficient but for the LAN facing rules (not talking about the Windows server firewall) what would be the recommended firewall rules for a Direct Access server? Is there a best practice guideline
to follow for this? Appreciate any advice or comments. Thank you.

Hi Barkley
Please see this Technet Link which will backup your requirements - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj574101.aspx
Section Reads -
When using additional firewalls, apply the following internal network firewall exceptions for Remote Access traffic:
ISATAP—Protocol 41 inbound and outbound
TCP/UDP for all IPv4/IPv6 traffic
Also another link from http://www.ironnetworks.com/blog/directaccess-network-deployment-scenarios#.VO3tfvmsVrU
"I have had a number of conversations with security administrators and network architects who have expressed a desire to place the DirectAccess server between two firewalls (firewall sandwich) in order to explicitly control access from the DirectAccess
server to the internal corporate network. While at first this may sound like a sensible solution, it is often quite problematic and, in my opinion, does little to improve the overall security of the solution. Restricting network access from the DirectAccess
server to the internal LAN requires so many ports to be opened on the inside firewall that the benefit of having the firewall is greatly diminished. Placing the DirectAccess server’s internal network interface on the LAN unrestricted is the best configuration
in terms of supportability and provides the best user experience."
Kindest Regards
John Davies
Thank for your reply and information John. I find it somewhat disappointing that Microsoft does not provide much more in the way of documentation and information regarding this topic. I required more information to show to our security team so they will allow
us to have the internal facing NIC not have more restrictive rules in place as it is a security concern.
