it fixes...- Windows Firewall is not the default firewall

Really surprised me to see no-one start with a question, although MCP's are all trained to do this..
The user has come back with an entirely different 'solution' to those launched into by our so-called professionals here, related directly to what was going on in his/her system at the time (in this case an update). Another example might be that some advice on stopping various other services to speed up XP 'for free' had just been followed - just fixed exactly this problem, with exactly the same error messages on another PC after a user had done this, simple by racking down the services menu and starting all the commonly running services.
