Can someone help? I'm running XP home SP2 and when I try to access
Windows Firewall, I get the following message:

Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows
Firewall settings.

I've been running SP2 for quite some time. At one time I was able to
check my firewall settings, but don't know how long it's not been
working.

TIA
jst

It sounds to me like the XP FW has been knocked out of the box by malware.

I saw a reply to you in another NG, but, just in case you don't see it:

Be careful in soliciting help in NG's, particularly where OS issues are
concerned. Look for expert advice.

Very strange.

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sharedaccess.htm is a page about this topic.
Does this work?
