Got a new refurbished laptop running windows 7. Had to enter windows 7 software key to activate it. Can not turn on Microsoft firewall. Ran malware and virus scan no issues reported. Tried to reset firewall to defaults no luck. Services are not running.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did Windows activate successfully? Can Windows Update run? Have you tried starting the firewall services through the Services panel? Start -> type "Services" -> Press Enter.

make sure the Windows Firewall service is set to Automatic for Startup type and is enabled/started.
 
Thanks for your ideas. Updates are on and just updated about 150 updates. Tried services. Says services are not running.
