Re: xpsp2 breaks Windows firewall service

On my computer and on a laptop (not in campus ad) on which I've now
installed sp2 (with no untoward consequences that I have detected), the
{ce166e40-... AppID has 4 entries: (Default), AccessPermission,
LaunchPermission, and LocalService. Name for both (Default) and
LocalService is SharedAccess--but it's working fine on the laptop.

I uninstalled sp2 on the problem computer yesterday; the firewall service
started running again. I turned off the arcserve backup agent and deleted
the firewall exception I'd created that permitted the backup server to
connect (the laptop doesn't have the backup agent), then re-installed
sp2: no dice, the firewall service broke again and produces the same error
message.

To add to the irony, with sp2 in place, the backup server can't get past
the firewall (and I can't configure the firewall in its semi-broken state),
so my computer isn't being backed up...

I've put in a call to the Microsoft sp2 help line (thanks for posting
that); we'll see where that gets me, but so far no solution.
