Fix Windows 7 Firewall Error 08x007042c

Problem :

Cannot start Windows 7 Firewall. Get Error 08x007042c.

More information I have found on the the problem.

The error log indicates: The Windows Firewall service depends on the Base Filtering Engine service which failed to start because of the following error:
Access is denied Event ID 7001.

The error logs indicate the Base Filtering Engine service terminated with the following error:
Access is denied Event ID 7023.

Also I checked the dependent services Remote Procedure Call (RPC), DCOM Service Process Launcher and RPC Endpoint Mapper are both started.



Solution :

If you have this crappy problem just do this: run-services.msc-base filtering engine: double click-make sure u have the local service, and empty password under LOGIN button. do the same on windows firewall in services. then go to regedit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943996/en-us do that AND!!!! give another user to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services user must be called: NT Service\bfe with full control! Then you can start bfe, and then you can start that firewall in services.msc! cheers!
