Re: WXP SP2 Firewall not started

Hello,

Thanks for your update.

First, I agree with you that the issue maybe caused by the Toshiba's
drivers. Therefore, you can uninstall the drives and reinstall them to
check the issue again.

Second, I want to know if you have tried my previous suggestions.
Especially resetting the winsock steps.

Third, you also can try to use clean boot to check if the issue is caused
by some other third party applications or services as following:

Please follow this suggestion to narrow down this problem:

1. Click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type "MSCONFIG"
(without the quotation marks). Click OK.

2. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click to select
the Selective Startup button.

3. Click to clear the check mark from the "Load startup items" below
Selective Startup.

4. Click the Services tab, click to check the "Hide All Microsoft Services"
box, and remove all the check marks from the remained Non-Microsoft
Services. *note that please make sure that you do not uncheck the Microsoft
services.

5. Click OK to close the MSConfig window. Click Yes when you are asked to
restart your computer in order to enable the changes.

6. After restarting, please check whether this issue will reoccur.

If this issue does NOT reoccur following the Selective Startup, please
continue these steps to find the exact cause:

1. Click Start, click Run, in the Open box type "MSCONFIG" (without the
quotation marks), and click OK.

2. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click the Startup
tab or the Services tab.

3. Add one check mark at a time to the entries under the Startup tab or the
Services tab, and then restart each time to see if the additional entry
reproduces the original problem.

At last, if the issue only occurs on the OEM Windows XP installation
version, you can also consult the issue with Toshiba to see if they have
encountered the similar issue before.

HTH! If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks & Regards

>> 892504 The Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2, in

>> http://support.microsoft.com/?id=892504
>>
>> 2. Based on my experience, the issue also can be caused by a winsock

>>
>> a. Go to the command prompt and then type the command "Netsh winsock

>> Got a message saying that to complete the reset Restart your computer
