  • Didn't work for me, Running windows XP pro, on a domain, firewall GP not configured, event log error

    Error 0x80004015: the class is configured to run as a security ID different from the caller.

    Followed solution:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Security

    3. Delete the Security registry subkey

    Reboot & the firewall is on,

    but once computer is restarted firewall is off and will not come on until the solution is followed again
