Windows Firewall not in the services list, and not working

[Alberio]

As said, Windows (7) Firewall is not appearing in the services list, and I'm getting the error code: 0x80070424 when trying to start it up, and 0x6d9 when I'm trying to access the firewall. I have no idea what so ever as to what could have caused this, and I doubt CCleaner could have done it.

Thing is, I want to get Windows (7) Firewall back up and running. Thanks

If I could, I would jump through the screen and give you a tackling hug. Thanks. Now I'm off toward port forwarding!
