Windows firewall settings cannot be changed

[Guest mholt@ohiohills.com]

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?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)?

"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. McAfee or Norton products).

McAfee is partly uninstalled. I could not clear out the last of it.

Other than that, the only firewall is what Windows offers.
