I have the problem described in kb919291. However when I try to implement the
solution I find that when I get into Services.msc, the table does not have an
entry for "security centre" I run Windows XP Home and have installed all the
recommended updates including January 2007. Any suggestions as to why there
is no entry for "secuity centre". I use Zone Alarm Security Suite

Apparently something is messed up with your Windows Security Center.

See if the fix here helps.

wscsvc is the Windows Security Center.

Open a command prompt...
Start | run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Then type the following command:

sc query wscsvc

And hit your Enter key.

If not installed, you get this...

C:\>sc query wscsvc
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Wesley Vogel, Thank you for your speedy response. However it has not fixed
the problem. I still get exactly the same symptoms. The control panel has the
icon for security service, but when I try to start it it tells me "The
security Center is currently unavailable because the "Security Center" was
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 do not get any other error message. The last 4 updates on my system
are all for kb915517. They were installed Jan27, Jan 24, Jan19, and Jan17 and
are definition updates for Windows Defender. At the same time I was having
trouble with Windows Update or Microsoft Update in as much as they would not
reach update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us.
Currently Windows Update is working o.k. Hope this is of some help. Reg
