No firewall?

[lennierv]

What's up with my Firewall Settings?

Where are they?

THis is what I get when I go to the tab involving firewall settings>....

Any way of repairing it?

As described here:, i'll try to do

cd %systemroot%\system32\wbem
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 –s %i
regsvr32 -s scrcons.exe
regsvr32 -s unsecapp.exe
regsvr32 -s wbemtest.exe
regsvr32 -s winmgmt.exe
regsvr32 -s wmiadap.exe
regsvr32 -s wmiapsrv.exe
regsvr32 -s wmiprvse.exe
for %i in (*.mof, *.mfl) do Mofcomp %i

Then reboot and check if this solved the problem.

If this doesn't work, you might try then:

rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository

If you used nLite to slim down your install disc, then this means you removed Windows Management Instrumentation. Don't remove this next time and you WILL be able to configure your firewall !
