This problem was driving me nuts. I did read at least 50 articles on how to debug firewall problems. I did all the stuff like \u201csfc scannow\u201d, the microsoft fixit<\/a>, tech articles<\/a>, service repair programs<\/a>, and still a nonworking firewall.<\/p>\n

Just when i was giving up, and made a prepare for a full system reinstall, I got it fixed.<\/p>\n

Problem description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When typing net start MpsSvc you see the following info<\/p>\n

The Windows Firewall service is starting.
\nThe Windows Firewall service could not be started.<\/p>\n

A service specific error occurred: 13.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you don’t have a error 13, just skip the complete article. This article is only for people with a error 13. Also its a last resort. Don’t blame me, if your computer is not working after my suggestion’s.
\nIf you have a error 5, I suggest to read the following link<\/a><\/p>\n

With the software serviwin<\/a> from nirsoft you will see the following message on the service<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are the steps:<\/p>\n

This solution is for Windows Firewall error in Vista. In the Event Log you will find the following message.: “The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error 13 (0xD).”<\/p>\n

The way i fixed this was to delete the complete regkeys under<\/p>\n

HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Sevices\\SharedAccess\\Parameters\\FirewallPolicy<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, open Registry Editor (Start->Run->regedit). Navigate to the key, and delete from the key \u201cFirewallPolicy\u201d but DONT delete the FirewallPolicy itself<\/p>\n

you should have<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open a command prompt with admin rights and type<\/p>\n

net start MpsSvc<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have the firewall running you need to restore de default set of rules
\nClick on Start->Type Windows Firewall in the search box. Click on “Windows Firewall”<\/p>\n

Click on “Allow a program through Windows Firewall”. Click on Advanced Tab->Restore Defaults.<\/p>\n

You can also type in the following command in a dosbox (admin mode)<\/p>\n
