Attached is a registry fix for the Base Filtering Engine that manages the Windows Firewall for both Windows Vista and Windows 7. You may download them on the Desktop and then extract their contents on the same. The password is "novirus" (quote marks excluded).
Before we import anything, it is always wise to do a backup of your registry. Here's how:
1. Click Start >> "Start Search" (Vista) or "Search Programs and Files" (Win7).
2. Type "regedit".
3. Right-click the regedit icon and click on Run as Administrator.
4. In the Registry Editor, highlight Computer then click File >> Export.
5. Put a file name and save it in a directory convenient for you.
Now we fix the registry entries for your windows firewall. Here's how:
1. In the extracted folder, right-click on each of the files an click on Merge.
2. Simply click OK until the import is complete.
3. Go back to the registry editor.
4. Click on the arrow buttons on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then System, then CurrentControlSet, then Services.
5. Under Services, right-click the BFE folder and click on Permissions.
6. Click "Add..."
7. Type "everyone" and click on Check Names. Click OK.
8. On the previous box, click on Everyone under "Group or user names" to highlight it.
9. Put a check on the box next to Full Control, under Allow and click OK.
10. You may now close the Registry editor.
To reactivate the Windows Firewall:
1. Click Start >> "Start Search" (Vista) or "Search Programs and Files" (Win7).
2. Type "services.msc"
3. Run Services as administrator.
4. Look for Base Filtering Engine and Windows Firewall under Services and start these services.
Reinstall your Titanium and the error message should be gone.
