"Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Snap-in failed to load"
Newbie, fooling around with Home Premium, came across an option labeled,
"Windows Firewall with Advanced security" Upon activation, popup reads, "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Snap-in failed to load. Restart the Windows Firewall Service on the computer that you are managing. Error code: 0x6D9" -- /s/ Neal Weissman (212) 591-1531 |

"Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Snap-in failed to load"
this was not supposed to have been uploaded because I had not finished it! I
needed to research Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. this will have to do, now: what is meant by the advanced security? is this the 2-way firewall that vista disables by default? what is the snap-in, and how do I load it? how do I research the error codes? thanks. -- /s/ Neal Weissman (212) 591-1531 "nweissma" wrote in message ...

Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is for fine-tuning the firewall settings for a specific need. You can create, delete, or disable "rules" for what it blocks and what it doesn't. In my opinion the options it provides should already be accessible or "built-in" when you access Windows Firewall the normal way. This is another attempt by Microsoft to "keep users from doing things they shouldn't" while at the same time, making things more difficult for an administrator to access. As for why you experienced an error pulling it up, I haven't the slightest idea. |

"Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Snap-in failed to load"
i figured out how to do configure the advanced firewall settings, but now i
have another problem: firewall has turned itself off! I subscribed to the 90-day trial ms onecare package. the ms windows firewall seems to periodically, and without annunciation, shut itself off: "windows firewall service is not running." attempts to turn it on yield, "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display windows firewall settings" it's set for "automatic upgrade," and automatic upgrade appears to be functioning normally. yet, in an attempt to get it running by "kicking" it, I pressed the manual upgrade button; this yielded, "Windows firewall was unable to make the requested updates." windows firewall has been problematical since the beginning (about 5-6 weeks ago): i was on the phone with 2 ms techs for nearly 4 hours (countless reboots) to have vista's "windows security center" recognize windows firewall. i recently downloaded, from RealNetwork Website, and installed - but never actually used - Real Player. It was not until after i installed that i read RealPlayer's eula. it says that "i agree" to have RealNetwork reconfigure my firewall, open the udp port, install cookies from different companies (Rhapsody, Mozilla, to name two), and certain other liberties (details elude me at this moment). thinking that there may be a connection between this instant windows firewall incident and the RealPlayer bundled adware shenanigans, i uninstalled RealPlayer (one day after i installed it) - notwithstanding that windows firewall has, as i've said, ceased before. do you think RealPlayer installed a piece of malware? anyway, what can i do about getting windows firewall turned on? .... or should i just disable windows firewall and uninstall the entire ms onecare package? i've been told that packages consume a lot of resources and are, pound-for-pound. significantly less effective than independent units. if you recommend the latter strategy then please recommend products for the units: antivirus, antispyware, registry cleaner, disk cleanup, disk defragmenter, monitor for open ports, ... many thanks. -- --Fool On The Hill "plazticsoul" wrote in message ...

I answered you in your first thread. Please go back to that thread and stick with it so people can help you properly instead of fragmenting the issue and making more more for everyone (including yourself).
