Window cannot start the windows firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) service???

[President & CEO]

Window firewall cannot be displayed because the associate services is not running. Do you want to start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing(ICS) services?

It give you the option to choose yes or no. I chose yes.

It comes back says Window cannot start the windows firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) service.
