Hello everyone, I am new here and I need some help. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit for quite some time, and I think I had firewall disabled for some time, but at some point I noticed that windows was blocking all incoming connections so I read somewhere that even though it’s disabled it can block connections. So anyway I tried to re-enable my firewall service but it won’t start! It gives me an error code 13. I tried a lot of things including Re-install windows (Upgrade, i kept my files), running “sfc /scannow” in cmd, download some registry files I found in microsoft’s forum, settings permissions in regedit, but nothing works! It’s really annoying, I need to host a game server but with this problem no one can join. Here is a the log from Event Viewer:
Log Name: System Source: Service Control Manager Date: 8/8/2014 1:40:59 πμ Event ID: 7024 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: DjSt3rios-PC Description: The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error The data is invalid.. Event Xml: 7024 0 2 0 0 0x8080000000000000 46693 System DjSt3rios-PC Windows Firewall %%13
So any ideas?
