Can't enable MS Firewall

XP Home Edition
When I first installed XP, I turned off Microsoft's firewall, and
installed "Tiny Personal Firewall", which can't do the things I now
want to do. So I removed it and tried to get Microsoft's firewall
working, but it won't enable.
When I select "Windows Firewall" from the control panel, I immediately
get the message "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot
display Windows Firewall settings".
When I select "Security Center" after a reboot, it says that the
firewall is ON. But after a few seconds, there is a "beep" and it
changes to OFF.
One possibility is that the old firewall isn't completely removed.
There might be some sort of 'driver' or something hanging around,
preventing other firewalls from working. But I don't know what to do
about that.
I'm looking for some help on this problem. I have a router and
anti-virus sw (Avast!) so I'm not defenseless, but there is something
definitely wrong that I would like to fix.
