repair windows firewall never finishes
« on: April 23, 2013, 08:03:22 pm »
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.  When I start repair windows firewall it says it fixes the current user and the system user account and then says "Done"  When I click on Stop it says stopping please wait... How long should it take.  It only takes five seconds to get to Done.  There is no obvious change to the firewall settings

Should take longer than the 6 sec it said.

I wonder if all the files it needed didnt get extracted from the self extracting exe.

Try my Windows repair all in one, unselect everything and do the firewall repair and wmi repair. The firewall is tied to WMI  :wink:
