Windows Firewall can not run because another program or service is running that might use the Network Address Translation component (IPNat.sys)

Windows Networking Firewall failure Error Upon trying to open and configure the Windows built-in Firewall, you receive the error: "Windows Firewall can not run because another program or service is running that might use the Network Address Translation component (IPNat.sys)" Cause is due to settings left in by "Routing and Remote Access" service. Even if the service is stopped, Windows will still report this error because the network card bindings are still being held by RRAS. Disable RRAS by opening the MMC for it and "Disable Remote Access and Routing". This can also be found by Right -clicking "My Computer", opening the Service and Application node. By Disabling RRAS in this way, the network protocol interface bindings are removed allowing for the Windows Firewall and Connection Sharing service to take over.

Remove Acrobat Toolbar Plugin From Outlook and Office

After installing Acrobat Reader or Professional, a toolbar surfaces in Microsoft Office applications. It wouldn't be so bad except that even when you select to remove the Plugin, it comes right back after the office application restarts. Worse yet, the toolbar puts itself on a new line each time, reducing the usable window size. Since I rarely use this toolbar and would rather open Acrobat explicitly to use the print, email, or save as PDF features, I got rid of the toolbar. Adobe doesn't make this easy, forcing the toolbar to always be visible, unfortunately you have to modify the windows registry. Warning, don't casually modify the windows registry; since it effectivley controls Windows and most applications. 1. Begin by closing the office applications. 2. Then click start, Run, and type: regedit 3. Browse to the below registry keys and delete each one. Note that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is referenced as HKLM in regedit.
