    Hello WK99,

    1. you have any software from third-party security installed on your computer?

    If you have security software installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the security software.

    If still does not work, run a file system on your computer check tool. You can read the article which will give you information on how to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    This can also be caused by an infection of malicious software on your computer. I suggest that you run a Malware scan on your computer and check if you have the same problem. You can follow the link below and run Windows Onecare scan online.

  • Windows Security Center cannot be started

    What antivirus program you have installed? Many antivirus programs and security have their own version of a "Security Center" that take for the one integrated in Vista/XP. If this is your case, then the behavior you're seeing is by design.

    If this is not the case, your computer is probably infected.

    There is no way for us to know who it is from what you wrote, please supply, the lack of details to get more help.

    The first Question of troubleshooting: what has changed between the time where things worked and the time, they did not?

    The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

    Make sure that the computer is clean:

  • Windows Firewall and Windows Security Center cannot start. In addition, no WSC in the services.msc list. What should do?

    Hey guys. I looked up and down for a solution to this problem.

    I already tried this solution:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/12/27/error-code-0x80070424-with-Windows-Firewall-and-quot-base-filtering-engine-service-quot-not-available-in-services-database-list.aspx

    Although the only problem is at last step when I turn on the firewall Windows or WSC (windows Security Center) since neither of them are present
    in the list of the services.msc.

    So here I am without any windows security, no firewall and no updates. I really need help here. I was attacked by malware, a day ago, and everything happened after that. I removed the malware with program ESET NOD, but it seems that the malware corrupted my registry/safety inputs.

  • Windows Security Service cannot be started, how to fix this?

    Hello
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium. Window Defender won't start. When I click on it in the Panel, he says "this program is disabled." There is a link that says: "If you do not use this program, click here to turn on. When I click on this link I get the message "the dose of specified service does not exist as an installed service (error code: 0 x 80070424)". " When I go to the Panel and the Panel of Services, the program is not listed. So I downloaded the program and tried to install it. He would not have installed. I get an error that says it is part of Windows Vista and requires no installation. It's strange to me that I am running windows 7.
    I then in the center of the Action. There, I found the Windows Security Center Service is disabled. There is a button to turn it on. Thought that would solve my problem I clicked it, only to get the message, "The Windows Security Center Service Can not be started."
    I ran the program Microsoft Fix It. There is no problem. The program is not there or if it is I don't think that and it want let me install it.
    Can you please tell me how to get Windows operational defender and how to get started (running) Windows Service Security Center.
    Thank you... David Sam

  • Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

    Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

    I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

    "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

    my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

    scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

    rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

    No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

    automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

    that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

    and ASUS.

    I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

    Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

  • Permanently disabled, Windows Security Center cannot be re-enabled or restarted.

    So I opened a file (like a fool) obvious malware and there is the Windows Security Center will be automatically disabled. Reactivation and restarting via the menu of Services only solves the problem for a minute or two, after which I get an Action Center message informing me that the Security Center is disabled later. I ran full scans with Malwarebytes and AVG Free, which neither identify all threats. Spybot S & D seems to identify that Security Center is not running, but "fixing" with S & D only reactive and restarts the service, after which it is invalid promptly thereafter. Can anyone help?

    The fact that you can re-enable and restart the service and then see off again (if I understand correctly your information) is a strong indication that there is still an active infection on your computer (as opposed to the impossibility for the throw at all which is often the result of inflicted malware corrupted registry).

    Use the Windows Firewall and BFE (base filtering engine)?

    I recommend that you run the following tools in more malwarebytes and AVG.
