Norton 2012 network configuration settings buttons deactivated after update

Today I opened my settings window to temporarily set "Block All Network Traffic" and found all buttons and "Configure [+]" links greyed out and deactivated for Intrusion Prevention and Smart Firewall.  Same is true if I right click on the quick start icon.  The pop up menu has the "Disable Smart Firewall" greyed out and deactivated.

 

This must have occurred after a recent live update.  Cannot enable or disable Smart Firewall or re-configure the above mentioned.  Running NIS on Windows XP.  Is there a fix for this.
