After uninstalling McAfee internet protection suite (antivirus, firewll,
etc.) and the installing and uninstalling PC Shield firewall (caused too many
problems), my PC has lost the XP firewall. Cannot enable through "security
center" or theough manual set-up. Anyone have anu ideas?
 
What happens when you try?

Check Event Viewer for errors. When you view the logged events in Event
Viewer (double-click them in the right-hand pane) in the upper right corner,
third button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of
a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event detail.

This is what I see:

Time: 5:45:37 PM
User: N/A
Computer: UPSTAIRSOFFICE
Description:
The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service depends on
the Network Connections service which failed to start because of the
following error:
