Causes of Error 1075 Windows Firewall Xp Sp3

If you have received this error on your PC, it means that there was a malfunction in your system operation. Common reasons include incorrect or failed installation or uninstallation of software that may have left invalid entries in your Windows registry, consequences of a virus or malware attack, improper system shutdown due to a power failure or another factor, someone with little technical knowledge accidentally deleting a necessary system file or registry entry, as well as a number of other causes. The immediate cause of the "Error 1075 Windows Firewall Xp Sp3" error is a failure to correctly run one of its normal operations by a system or application component.

above has listings of services needed for the firewall to operate

what did you mean about updating the registry??

are you on sp2 or sp3?

 

sp3 (or sp4 if u count that)
idk i saw a few posts you can do registry edits to tey to fix it, didnt work.

 

okay, then did you do a system restore to a point where it did work, and it is best to do a system restore from safe mode.

 

i dont remember when it last worked honestly i never payed attention

 

An error 1075 means that the Dependencies for the Service may be afflicted.

To see what the Dependencies are, you could look at them in the Services tab, but that might not show erroneous Services, so the best way to see what they really are is to query the Service from a Command Prompt.

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

cmd

Click OK to open a Command Prompt and enter this command:

sc qc sharedaccess

You should see something like this:

[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: sharedaccess
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
DEPENDENCIES : Netman
: WinMgmt
SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem

What is important is what is under DEPENDENCIES, so tell us exactly what you see under DEPENDENCIES.

If it does not look like the example above, enter this command being sure to include the space after the equals sign:

sc config sharedaccess depend= Netman/WinMgmt

Don't forget that there is a space after the equals sign.

You should then see a message like this:

[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

Then enter this command again to query the Service to be sure the DEPENDENCIES look like the example above:

sc qc sharedaccess

If that is what you see, now see if you can start the ICS Service.

above is from HERE

=========================

after reading the above and doing the instructions from A. User, then you might do a system restore to a very early point and go from there. If you have added and removed items then you might have an issue with those items not being completely removed.

 

it looked like that when i did the command initially, i tried running the fix but it didnt do anything

 

I dont want to reset or go back in time cause i honestly dont remember when it worked, i just started downloading alot of stuff to get my computer back up n running. i use privatefirewall but i also tried uninstalling it. there has to be something blocking firewall

 

you need to go to the registry, use the find function and search for the name of the firewall you tried to uninstall, and delete the entries for that name.

run your anti virus

go to start/run/ type in msconfig/ go to startup and make sure nothing except your antivirus is starting up (hide all microsoft items) restart and then see if you can bring your firewall up.

 

i dont have an antivirus what do i do lmao

 

if you do not have an antivirus and your firewall is not working , sorry but I would do a complete reinstall with a full wipe, because it appears that you might have an infection.

 

impossible, i didnt install anything out of the ordinary, nothing i havent had on my pc prior to resetting and fresh installing.

any antiviruses you recommend i can run?

 

I use 360 total security from qihoo, but lots here do not like that it is from china.

you can also check out a few threads dealing with antivirus, see the search link below

i tried "upgrading" or reinstalling windows, without resetting it.
didnt work, ima use this 360TS, but i doubt itll find anything

 

it found some "threats" and i cleared everything up, but it didnt do anything. i tried safemode and booting with only the firewall service, ive done basically everything i could.

i really dont wanna reset my pc, AGAIN, its a pain. do you think installing SP4 / slipstreaming the may 2019 SP4 update had something to do with all this? I also cant install over 32 recommended and optional updates, they always fail

 

As you can see, Antivirus programs aren't much help which is why I never use them.

You're only option now is to re-install Windows XP since you've tried everything Elizabeth suggested and still can't resolve the issue. You can save yourself a lot of headaches in the future by imaging your drive after you've installed XP, all your favorite software and settings. Should you ever encounter another issue with your PC that can't easily be resolved you can restore it to the state that at which you made the image which takes minutes versus hours of manually re-installing the OS/Software/settings.

Read this guide. Learn it. Live it. No more worries about malware/hard drive failure/you fudging your system to the point where it can't boot. Drive imaging is like a time machine. It allows your PC to go back in time to when everything was working.

wow. it ended horribly.

https://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10321

and SAME ERROR!?!?!

once again reinstalled

seemed to be the 2019 update. cant believe it, why would they do that!?
Oh well, I can probably live without it lol
back to square one

 

Well now you can suspect that an update may have broken ICS. Try it right after Windows reinstall. I've used ICS on RTM and SP1, but not after. I would have suggested uninstalling and reinstalling your network hardware drivers, until I read that you tried a total reinstall. I remember ICS was always a finicky, possibly buggy feature.
