Guest ianc1505 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I have been installing, using and unistalling several anti spyware, anti malware and anti virus programmes one after another in a vain attempt to get rid of "em.pc-on-internet.com" pop-unders on my standalone PC running on Vista Home Premium. I finally managed to stop the pop-unders (at least for the moment) by downloading and running a programme called ComboFix. I also followed it's suggestion to delete all prior Restore Points. Unfortunately, now the Security Center Service does not run on start up, although Defender and Firewall seem to be working OK, as does the installed anti virus (NOD 32 by ESET). At least I don't keep getting the annoying "User Access Control Is Turned Off" messages that usually plague me. When I try to restart the Security Centre in Start/Programmes/Adminstrative Tools/Services I get the error message: "Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process" Any ideas on how I can restart the Security Centre. I have no old restore points to fall back upon, and I do not wish to have to re-install Vista, as I only have the OEM installed copy (ie no discs) and would lose all current work & configurations. Thanks in advance. Ian Quote
Guest ianc1505 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Edit: When I right click on Properties for Security Center in Services, I get the message: "Configuration Manager. The specified device instance handle does not correspond to a present device". Does that mean I do not have a Security Center? If so, what can I do?

On my Vista machine for SC, it's set to Local account, but I don't know what the psw is about as it was preset. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/remotereg.htm Quote
Guest ianc1505 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks for the tip,but it's not that. Remote Registry was already set to Local User. Any other ideas anybody?

"Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process" It's about seeing a problem and possible solution to that problem that could lead to a solution in your case. It's been plenty of times I have seen a related type of problem and the solution in another area that lead me to a solution with the same type of problem I was having in another area. This is about problem solving and one's ability to put 2 and 2 together to come up with a possible solution to fix a problem. How is that problem about Remote Registry service and the essences of the problem and the solution to the problem any different than the problem you're having with a different service? If nothing else, put that error message in the Google search engine and see what others have done to fix the problem. If nothing else, look at the other Service Dependencies that the service must wait on before it can start (other services in the same process) and see what they are using for user account and psw.

Guest Monlosez N Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Fix I had this error on my mom's computer. But here is the fix. Start services, go to Security Center property. Go to Log On tab and click This Account, then type in NT AUTHORITY\LocalService Quote
