My Security Center alerts are always reminding to Turn it on. When I try to
Turn it on, it says "The Security Center Service can't e Started", when I run
Services, and try to Start Security Center from there, it says" Windows
coulde not start the security center service on local computer. error 1083:
the executable program that this service is configured to run in does not
implement the service."

what should I do?
 
I have the same problem at this moment. I have posted this problem on a forum
in the Netherlands. As soon as I know the solution You will recieve a message.
Greetings
H.
 
Perhaps you can find your answer via this link (it's a dutch forum) Just go
to the last item on this page. If you cant enter this site via the link go to
the non-member part and look for the discussion "HijackThis logs" and look
for the posted item by HHHH and go to the bottom of the page. Just make sure
that your service file is: "wscsvc"
Succes
H.
 
respect right at you jacee sorted my prob out thanx this was a result of
malware which got past macaffee security suite nice 1
 
I have the exact same problem. I have tried all of the "solutions" suggested
in this thread and none of them have worked. I'm almost to the point of
re-installing Vista. Please, if there's anyone else out there with any other
suggestions PLEASE share. I really don't want to go through the hassle of
reinstalling my OS.

Click on 'run' (it's in accessories), type *services.msc* in the box,
then OK.

When the list of service's window opens, check to see that 'Security
Center' and 'Security Accounts' are both set to start Automatically. You
can do that by right clicking on the line and choosing properties.
Reboot/restart your computer and check to see if it's now working
properly.

Well, I did exactly as was mentioned below within "Security Center", it was
set to "Automatic" but the "Services Status" showed "Stopped" and when I push
"Start" a small window popped up indicating Error Code 1068 and would not
allow it to start.
So I'm still confused how to start Security Center.
BTW the "Security Accounts" window was "Automatic and OK.
 
DES,

Do you have UAC turned off?

UAC= User Access Control
Without you knowing what it is and where to find it then no doubt you have
not turned it off and that's what I was wondering. Turning off UAC can cause
all kinds of problems and there is no long list yet as to what it can cause.
I thought maybe you had turned it off and wanted to see if maybe this was
effecting your system and causing you this problem.

Thanks all. I checked and UAC is turned on.
I still am getting a Security Alert Icon which tells me that my Security
Center service is turned off and when I click the button to turn it on, I get
a small message window saying that "The Security Center service cannot be
started." Any thoughts?
