Cannot start Windows firewall service error windows could not start windows firewall on local computer error code 5.

I've already stated in my first post that I cannot run any  Microsoft Fix it tools, I am presented with an error.

The firewall service is already set to automatic and it won't start. I get an error (also shown in my first post)

Checking the Event Viewer I find that an Error with the WMI:

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus, AntiSpyware and Firewall.

Also an Error with SDWinSec.exe:

The description for Event ID 0 from source SDWinSec.exe cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

The service process could not connect to the service controller

ACPI: 

The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.

The application (Microsoft SQL Server 2008, from vendor Microsoft) has the following problem: After SQL Server Setup completes, you must apply SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or a later service pack before you run SQL Server 2008 on this version of Windows.

I tried to install Visual Studios earlier today but I got another error:

KB2581206 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer. Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=225649 for more details.

iBecause I thought there was a problem with the WMI.  A few searches later I found a forum that told me to add the following command into the command prompt:

 mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

But I got another error:

File 'C:\Progam Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Sever\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof' not found!

And if I try to look in the directory I don't have a Microsoft SQL Server folder.
