Disabling firewall

[SW]

When I attempt to disable the XP firewall, I get a message
saying that Windows cannot dispaly the properties of this
connection. The Windows Management Instrumentation
information might be corrupted. Any suggestions on how to
disable the firewall any other way or on how to fix this?

Thanks.
