There is no repair option with Windows Vista (stupid)
I have no restore points.


BFE is running fine
MPSDrv doesn't show up in the service list in task manager, interestingly
enough...
I did sc query MPSDrv instead, and STATE = 4 (Running)
sc query BFE (just for kicks) STATE = 4 (running)

Using the event viewer i found two errors in the last hour from source
Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider. (My computer was turned off for
about 5 hours before this) In the last 7 days these errors have repeated 15
times and 14 times respectively.

One of them seems a bit familiar. "The Windows Firewall service terminated
with service-specific error 5 (0x5)."

The other one says
"The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
i8042prt"

I also have a print error, but it is probably because my printer is turned
off, and an error from source LSM that reads
"Terminal Service start failed. The relevant status code was The service
cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled
devices associated with it.
.."

The print error and the LSM error are also at around 15 repeats in the last
7 days


The Print error says "The print spooler failed to share printer hp psc 1200
series with shared resource name JOSHUA'S PRINTER. Error 2114. The printer
cannot be used by others on the network."

Somehow not surprised here, i couldn't get it to share the printer.

I noticed a strange side-effect of perhaps having the firewall as messed up
as it is right now, I can't succesfully open ports on this computer, and I'm
100% sure I'm forwarding properly and setting up my static IP properly.

On a side note, I'm going away for 5 weeks as of saturday so I may be idle
for a while.

Thanks Mr. Beder

Glad to have finally found this thread. I am having the same issue as
Jacob. I am getting the same output from the "SC XX" query commands. This
is the only Vista machine in a 2K3 domain. No errors reported from group
policy and no changes to policy in months. Error began on am of 5/29/07.
While I regularly install/uninstall various products, and sure, any of them
could be an issue, none would have been security related as I find the
Windows firewall adequate to my needs. No reported spyware via defender or
adaware which I installed first time this evening. Machine is a thinkpad
t60p with Vista business clean install. Any help/thoughts would be greatly
appreciated.

this might be a dead end given that mpsdrv is running, but could you post
back with the contents of the security regkey for mpssvc?
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\servic es\mpssvc\security

you can export the contents to a text file from one of the File options in
regedit, then copy them from notepad.

if the output isn't too huge, I wouldn't mind seeing all the settings for
the service (ie, ...\services\mpssvc)

thanks

I also have this problem. I think it started when I uninstalled and
reinstalled Windows One Care which has it's own Firewall. I used a program
that One Care tech said to use called clean windows one care. I noticed that
Windows Firewall was no longer there after uninstalling Windows One Care.
When I have Windows One Care installed their Firewall works. One Care showes
up in the services. When I uninstall One Care there is no Firewall in
services. When I go to Control Panel and try to turn on Firewall it say it's
not running. I can't even turn it on because it's not in Services. Have you
found anythin new?

Also when I checked the Registry Key that David noted I have no
mpssvc\security under services.

I am also having this problem. It started after my machine started prompting
for a driver for some hardware, even though I haven't added any new hardware.

well, I'm not finding anything out of the ordinary with these regkeys.

the next step will be to try and gather some output from the service before
it shuts down. unfortunately that might not be trivial and I need to
investigate exactly how to do this.
