Security Center: can not turn on

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas: can depend on a Security Center. Right click and the button start is not bold. How can I restore it? I use windows vista and can not understand the system restore?

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

See you soon.

    Hello

    Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
    ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on machine now. And
    who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them. (They leave leftovers that cause
    strange questions.).

    Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

    Hi Lillie B.

    I see you get error 0 x 80070424 while trying to turn the Security Center. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Method 1.

    I suggest you to consult and follow the steps in this article and check.

    Windows Update, error 80070424: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error-80070424

    Error 0 x 80070424 occurs when you use Windows Update, Microsoft Update, or Windows Firewall: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968002

    To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • XP SP3 Security Center will not suddenly Norton Internet Security recognize?

    Windows XP SP3 Security Center won't recognize all of a sudden of Norton Internet Security. It has been fine for years. I don't have a virus.

    How to fix problem?

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum. I understand that XP SP3 Security Center will not recognize Norton Internet Security. I would like to help solve you the problem.

    This problem may occur if there is an inconsistency in the system files or folders associated with XP Security Center. Follow these methods:

    Method 1.

    Disable the firewall and check if that helps.

    How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions? : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673

    Note: you should not disable Windows Firewall, unless you have another firewall is activated. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

    Method 2.

    Rename the storage folder.

    1 - Go to control panel, and then open administrative tools.

    2 - click on Services.

    3-go down to Windows Management Instrumentation and stop this service.

    4. stop the Security Center service.

    5-exit and close all windows.

    6. right click on start and select explore.

    7. go down to C:\windows or Winnt\system32\wbem\repository.

    8 remove only the storage folder

    9-go Back To Services and restart the WMI and the Security Center service.

    10. close all windows and restart the computer.
