Guest mholt@ohiohills.com Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 When I click on the point to change the settings -- really, to see what they are! -- what I get is a warning message that says "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings." What does this mean? Do I have a impending disaster on my hands?

"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" error, try: Start>Run regsvr32 hnetcfg.dll [enter] This assumes you aren't running third-party security software that has a firewall component (eg.
