security center failed to start

I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on my computer to try, didn't like it so uninstalled and now security center fails to start.
Went to services and tried to start it manually, failed access denied
Downloaded SubInACL and ran that to reset all permissions to default, no change access denied.
Checked the default log on and it is local service, if I try to change that the error code changes to "the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services that run in the same process" (1079)
All other security works defender, firewall, I just don't get any warnings if something is blocked or needs my input.
Contacted Microsoft help they said it was a MSE problem, but when I contact MSE help they tell me it is a Vista problem.
All I know is it's a Microsoft problem.
I followed the thread here in the forum with the same tag but nothing there helped my case.
Don't really see it as a big loss, just like everything on my computer to work as it should.
Security I have is Eset NOD32 always on, Windows Defender, always on,Windows Firewall,always on. Regular scans with Malwarebytes, and Super AntiSpyware.
no infections found
SFC/ scannow, no problems. check disk, no problems.
Rapidly running out of ideas.
Don't have a Vista disc OEM install on Toshiba
No other problems anywhere on computer

If it were me, I would go back with system restore, it would be exactly the way it was before the install. Then you can decide what A/V you want.

Too late for that my restore points don't go back far enough, already tried.
Never new I had a problem until it was too late to do a restore

Some AntiVirus turn off the Security center. Is that the case with Eset?

I think it was Microsoft Security Essentials that stuffed it.
It stopped when I did the uninstall of that.
I had Eset on before trying MSE and Security Center did list Eset as active

Lets try this. You cant restore to before MSE, how about restore to the point just before the uninstall. Then we can research the correct way to uninstall. I would use revno, and not the control panel. Then use ccleaner to clean up the remanants, if any.

No too long ago, hasn't been a problem. I just saw the other thread and tried what was there in the hope. I have had this problem for about 3 months.
Microsoft help put it in their "too hard" basket and I did nothing about it since then.
Is not a problem to worry about as it did very little anyway.
I get no nag messages that it is off unless I do a cold restart and seldom do those as I normally put it to sleep.
If I am going to do some video recoding then I will reboot beforehand
