If you upgraded to sp2 it will show in the add/remove programs list, so you can uninstall it from there, restart and reinstall it.

You can use Dial-a-fix to reinstall/repair the firewall.

No Sp2 was in the package of windows home that i bort.

i will try Dial-a-fix thanks for addvice Tarun!

i will let you know how it all went.

You can hit the green checkmark and click go to repair the common items. For the firewall, you'll need to click the Tools button (hammer) and select it from the list.
