Hi Rob. Are you using the System immunization? If so, please un-immunize all areas and try again.

If not, please post some more info. Windows version? Architecture? Maybe post a UVK log?

Thanks.

Working ok on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit
Just thought I would chime in and let you guys know that its working ok for me.

By the way, nice new features and look Fred. I haven’t had time to mess with it much, but I have faith that it will work wonderfully. Thank you for your hard work on UVK.

Hi Bill. Thanks. What do you guys think of the new look of the website? Honestly, please. Do you think it got better?

I personally like it myself. I like the softer colors. The organization is nice too.

Nice touch here.

@Rob

According to Microsoft, your issue is caused because the Windows firewall service (MpsSvc) does not have permissions to start itself.

UVK has a fix for this issue: Fix local group access. I suggest you run it from the System repair section, or from the Run script section with the command <FixGroupAccess>. Restart the machine.

If the fix does not solve your problem, please run the Microsoft fix in the following article:

Please report back whether you managed to fix the issue, and how.

Thanks. I'm glad someone likes the new website look. It took me a few days to setup.
