Issues with Windows Firewall

Whenever I try clicking on Windows Firewall, it doesn't work. Instead, it
notifies me that "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display
Windows Firewall settings".

If anybody knows what's wrong with it and how I can fix it then please reply!

Thank you!

I don't know if this is a firewall issue or something else. My problem is
that I can't install .exe files. I get the message
[ C:\Documents and Settings\Shoe
Family\Desktop\JigsawBeachHoliday Install.exe is not a valid Win32
application. ] I don't know why it is saying this because I installed some
of the same ones 4 months ago. Something has changed and I don't know where
to look. Please help if you can

No, it's not a firewall issue. Do other .exe files run on your system?
If so, that is probably just a corrupt file that needs replacing. Try
downloading it from wherever you got it before and see if the new file
works.
