Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070437. Connection sharing not working either due to this. I've tried everything I could find except running Windows 7 repair from a disk(don't have one). will that fix the issue? Anything I could try? Have a Toshiba C655 with 4 gigs Ram. Please help. its driving me nuts!

Hi Fritz. :welcomewf:

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your computer.

I'll try to lay the whole thing out in blocks so that we can see exactly what is going on here Fritz. :)

Fritz: I've tried everything I could find

It's going to be useful to us at this stage to have a full and detailed diagnostics write-up of what you have tried so far, so as not to start covering the same ground that you have already dug over.

Fritz: Connection sharing not working

What sort of share connection are we talking about here ? - Ethernet Lan, Wireless Lan, Ad-Hoc, P2P, Opera Unite, BitTorrent ?

Fritz: Windows 7 repair from a disk(don't have one). will that fix the issue?

A Windows Repair Disk can be made from within the Windows 7 environment, so cant quite understand the "Dont have one" statement ???????

will that fix the issue? (i.e. - The Repair Disk)

The repair disk can be used in many ways including recovery to an earlier stage in time when you made your backup (System Image/Disk Image),

A "System Restore", A Windows Memory Diagnostic, A Startup Repair, and access to command prompts.

You have not quite got to the stage in diagnostics yet where you have been able to find instruction to manufacture a Repair Disk, - so at this stage I would walk very gently around the inner workings of your PC if I were you. :(

Instructions on how to make a Repair Disk from within the confines of Windows 7 can be found here:

** Windows 7 Repair Disk **

Hope all of this, and the way that I have layed it out for you is of some help.

John. :)

Add-On for Fritz.

Doubtless you will have already made a "System Backup", (What sensible person wouldn't have ? :blink: )

But for others reading who are new to computing here is a further guide:

Create a System Image in Windows 7, and use Repair Disk to Re-install.

If money is tight, and you prefer compression with your "Disk Image" you may prefer to use:

**Macrium Reflect free Edition**

Or the excellent:

**Acronis True Image**
