Security Center -service Has Not Started Or Was Stopped?
Sep 20, 2007
After I installed Service Pack 2, on startup showed Security Center. It said "The Security Center is currently unavailable because the "Security Center" service has not started or was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the "Security Center" service), and then open the security center again.
I launched services.msc, changed to automatic (it was disabled), and started it. After reboot everything went back to "normal" - it was disabled, stopped. I know I can do this procedure every time I want to work on my computer, but this is not what I want. I have Norton Internet Security 2007; no other anti-virus software or firewall installed.
I just purchased a new computer with XP Professional SP2. When I go to the Windows Security Center (start/control panel/Window Security Center) I get the following message under Security Essentials: "The Security Center is currently unavailable because the 'Security Center' service has not been started or was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the Security Center service) and the open the Security Center again." I have my Windows Firewall is ON along with Norton anti-virus and the Norton firewall.
I do not show the Security Center Icon in the Control Panel. I can go to the Security Center by going to All Programs, Accessories, System Tool, route. How can I add Security Center to Control Panel?
the colors in my Security Center have changed. First I thought it was a problen with the windowblinds skin I was using but I don't think it is. Could it be the WB program itself? I didn't have this problem (fresh OS install) until after I installed a few things, WB, avast, zonealarm, and uninstalled antivis.
While building up a new computer I go into Security Center to make some configuration changes. The resource "Change the way Security Center alerts me" is available at this time. Some time later during the building process I go back into Security Center and find that resource is no longer available. It is greyed out.
There are suddenly no options listed under the "Manage security settings for:" heading, just blank space, so I have no way to edit my Firewall, Antivirus or Windows Update settings from the Center. I opened services.msc and it shows the service started automatically.
I have never been good at understanding how to successfully run defragmentation. I know it's a good idea to do so on occasion so it keeps your computer in tip-top shape but in all the systems I've had in the past, Windows 95 and Windows 98, it just seemed like it never would complete. AND it took forever!
You'd see the percentage of it increasing and then all of a sudden, it started over. I'd have everything "closed" but I guess there were applications running in the background.
I'm running XP SP2 and I can't launch the Terminal Services service.Anytime I start it, it immediately stops with a message "The terminal services service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance logs and alerts services."
I had to format a Dell C600 Laptop drive and used the a XP Pro SP2 Reinstalation CD The install went fine but a couple of odd things;A user was not created even though I had entered the information during the install, after install, I am logged in as an Admin inistratorNow when I am in, all automatic services are not running and stopped. When I try to manuall start and get different errors for every service.I cannot get to MSConfig, I get an error that it does not exist.I cannot install drivers because I get a RSC message just reformatted another Dell with success I cannot find a solution anywhere, can someone please assist?
First i am using xp, nobody can help me, i called the pritner manufactor, microsoft, and my computer manufactorer. for some reason the spooler service is not running. i try to start and says the depenecy services cannot be started, and i clicked on properties and these one are listed: LexBce server, and remote procedure call. the printer is all in one, and shows up on device manager, and lets me scan, i just cant print, i used to have a lexmark, and im wondering did uninstall correctly and if that s why its giving me problems...also on top of that when i click on start and try to go to help and support it tells me it cannot find the file, same thing when i click on run and type msconfig, cannot find that either. i did a system restore, and it did nothing, i p aid emachines 20 dollars for their "support".....
After removing numerous malware, spyware, and adware programs, I get the following error message when I go into the Security Center under Control Panel: "The Security Center is currently unavailable because the "Security Center" service has not started or was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the "Security Center" service), and then open the Security Center again." I've rebooted but still can't get into it? I also cannot get into the Windows Firewall because the Security Center is not set up.
Every time my computer boots, Windows Security Center (new to SP 2?)insiststo remind me of my current settings. It's reminding me what is disabled in a bubble-pop-up in the System Tray. I don't want ANY reminders. I don't want WSC running at all. Where is the setting to turn it off?
We're on xp sp2. When I check Windows Security Center, it is often disabled. I've enabled it more than once via the procedure listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919291/en-us but eventually (like after logoff/logon or reboot) it's disabled again. I even set Recovery to Restart on Failure and Logon as local system account. Virus is unlikely with Spyware Blaster, SpyBot, NAV 2007, and Ad-Aware SE protecting it.
Is there any Policy setting for this? We are running a NetWare network,and all student clients are complaining since the Windows Security Center does not recognize F-Secure 5.43.The really strange thing is the Security Center recognized it on your all-norwegian image,this "error" appeared only after we decided to go for Multi-language(English first then norwegian on top)
I have two weird popups that says "my computer is in danger"It says window security center has detected spy/ad ware. It says I should click on the popup to install protection. When I click it nothing happens.I have Macafee and have ran it and remove some virus. Even after restarting I still get these popups. I found some info http://www.theeldergeek.com/security_center.ht
When I boot my computer, the task bar notification area shows icons for CA Security Center, a local area connection, and sometimes Intel PROset/wireless but that is all. If I run Task Bar Repair Tool Plus and select Show all listed Tray icons,the remaining icons are displayed until the next boot.
I just opened the security center and see that virus protection is not found How do I turn it on ? I went to microsoft downloads and cant find the virus part of security center. I did find anti spyware but no anti virus.
security center informs me that my anti virus is not enable. when checking this and going back opening the security center it now tells me that antivirus is enable even though i have not touch anything. also I have the built in xp firewall turned off but it is displayed as on in the security center.
I recently installed Comodo Firewall and once again, it was too much for me to handle, so I uninstalled it and went back to Windows Firewall until I can find something else. However, as most people experience, it is still listed as my running firewall in the security center. I googled the problem and I have tried everything that I have found to get rid of it and it will not go away! I followed the instructions on the Comodo page and when it comes to deleting the repository file, it won't allow me to. I hit delete and it comes up that a file is still in use. I tried again and again, went under safe mode, and nothing. I tried to run the Command line....it tells me the repository file is not empty and Command will not let me proceed any further.
I tried System Restore, which solved the firewall problem but brought on antivirus problems (I have the Avira free edition). The AV guard will not work. I click "Antivir Guard Enable"....nothing. The definitions remain at the day I restored back to and when I try to update, it says my program is up to date. I go to the Service program under Administrative tools to start it, same problem. I have restored back a couple times and have never had this problem. So I ended up undoing both system restores and am back to the firewall problem. I can't get rid of it no matter what I do.
I'm having problems with my computer properly booting in normal windows. Every time I boot up my PC normally it freezes for a second during the windows boot up phase, flashes a blue screen that you can even read a word before it reboots. i can only open up in safe mode and nothing more. i've checked the system errors and i keep getting the same one that doesn't allow me to boot up normally.
DCOM got error "This service cannot be started in Safe Mode " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server: {1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF} i've done a system repair with my XP SP2 disc and i still get the same thing to happen every time i repair it. i'm sure the answer is staring me strait in the face and i can't see it.
After installing Norton AntiVirus 2007 I received the following message when I opened the security center in the control panel; The Security Center is currently unavailable because the "Security Center" service has not started or was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the "Security Center" service), and then open the Security Center again. I have naturally restarted the computer but that didn't fix the problem. I don't know that the problem is connected to the installation of Norton 2007, (upgraded from 2005), but the Security Center was available before the installation.
i am using a windows xp, sp2, computer and here is a low down on whats been going on:fake security center alert, about a virus called "win32.netsky.q" try to run msconfig get a warning saying "msconfig has caused system failure" and system restarts firefox / ie will not load and crash instantly msn loads then just disappears avg and Anti-malware scan show nothing. managed to get msconfig to stay open and removed from startup something called "fhexj6825097" under "Application data/google" and now msconfig will not close
when I start or restart my computer sometimes pops up an icon in the bottm right corner and a balloon saying my computer is at risk. I open it up and it opens the security center and it says I don't have any virus protection. I do and the one I have is Comodo antivirus. I know windows does not recognise this and I hit recomendations and I check the little box that says I am monitiring this myself. The problem is that in a few days it will pop this up again. Its not a big deal but it just makes me mad that I have to do this.
