Hello Amster,

Other folks may have additional ideas for you; hope this helps a bit, take
a look at this

Security Center

<http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/Services/Security_Center.htm>
Look for Dependencies: What service Security Center needs to function
properly:


Black Viper's Windows Vista SP1 Service Configurations

<http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm>
see if that helps:


Other than that, I'm about out of ideas, so good luck with it.

Let us know maybe someone else can conjure up something else to try.

Good luck
