Re: "Windows Security Center Services can't be started"

[brutium]

Hello Everyone.

I am Brutium and I am new here.

I surely hope someone will be able to help me. I am currently running

Vista Business edition (32 Bit). Recently I noticed on the taskbar a red

shield with a white X in it. Scrolling over this it says "Windows

Security Alerts". I tried to open it and change the "Automatic

updating", since it has (by magic, Microsoft magic that is...) turned

from on to off. I went through all the necessary steps, but untimately I

get a message that says, "Security Center can't change your automatic

updating settings". I tried to find a solution on the internet, but

without success. I am now turning to you and I hope you will be able to

help me. PS. I cannot run, nor install any Windows Updates. I have

scanned my system for viruses as well as spyware. The system seems to be

clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was using Norton

Corporate edition 10 as an Antivirus, and I do not think it was a norton

problem since I have been running this antivirus for a long time without

any problem.

You've posted in someone else's thread. That's because you aren't really

posting in a forum like you think you are; you're using a web interface

that simply scrapes Usenet posts. Instead, set up a real newsreader (very

easy to do) and make a new post, including all pertinent information per

the "How To Post" section below. Here's how:

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really

a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use

a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use

Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.

Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
