How to create the LIVE USB;
To make a bootable USB drive / key:
j:\syslinux.exe -ma j:
replace j with some other letter if your USB drive is on a drive letter other than (J:). On some drives, you may have to omit the -ma option if you get an error. If it says nothing, it probably did install the bootloader.
Please note that you may have to adjust settings in your computers BIOS
setup to boot from USB. Also, some BIOS (often older machines) simply won’t boot from USB anyway.

Issue at Hand:
When I go to the “Wireless Network Connection 2” Properties, and click on the “Advanced” tab, then click on Windows Firewall “Settings” button, I get a message that says:
“Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?” I click “Yes.” Then I get a message that “Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Services (ICS) service.” I tried doing the Network Setup Wizard, and everything appears fine then.
Try This:
Good to go
