Win 2003 Firewall Problem. Ahhh Jez 01-04-2008

I have googled for this and I'm still no nearer...!

My windows 2003 server died, due to psu, motherboard and cpu failure.

I moved the hard disk to another machine and ran a windows repair
installation.
This resulted in a working Windows 2003 server with a few errors in
event viewer.
I assumed this was due to me reinstalling with the original 2003 CD
and the old install being SP1.

So I installed SP1 and did a windows update, everything seems to be
going well.

But now I get an error when I try and access Windows Firewall either
from control panel or via the connection -> advanced -> Windows
Firewall tab.

I get: "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows
Firewall Settings". Nothing is logged in Event Viewer.

Since a reboot the firewall is active and blocking ALL Ports. My Mail
& FTP Servers are blocked !

From a command prompt I have managed to disable the firewall with
"netsh firewall set opmode disable" so at least my mail and FTP server
will work... But I still can't access the firewall config.

If I reboot the server the firewall is active and ALL Ports are
blocked again.

How do I re install or reset the firewall so I can access it via the
GUI ?? This will then allow me to configure it as needed..

I hope this is enough information.

Thanks
