Hello all,i'm having trouble enabling windows XP firewall.I'm using Windows XP home edition.The error message i'm getting is : "Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running.Do you want to start Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service? click yes/no."

When i click yes i get this other message : "Windows cannot start Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Service." Can anyone help me please?Thank you all very much in advance
