In Big Trouble Vista Home 32 Bit
The symptom of my problem is Vista is telling me that my firewall is not
running, but it won't start manually. Also doesn't connect to the internet (I'm using a borrowed machine here) I can see that BFE is not running and that won't start either, says a file is missing. I have tried a system restore to several different points, after quite a few minutes tells me this has failed and the problem is still there. Tried the sfc which said it fixed some files but could not fix all, wasn't obvious to me from the log what it couldn't fix. In desperation have backed everything up I can find and tried to reinstall (I have a Dell installation disc so no option to repair) This got to the first reboot on expanding files (27%) and then failed and restored back to the original configuration. As you can see I seem to be in big troubles, (started after a Windows Update this morning as far as I can tell, was alright before that) Any advice anyone can offer will be gratefully received

Which Update was it that you downloaded and installed? Event Viewer is saying
exactly concerning the error. Have you tried to uninstall the Update and see if the OS returns to work Correctly. Do you have Norton or MacAfee installed and was it on when you were downloading and installing the Update -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
