There are two general approaches that may fix your problems. All of the
commands are typed in manually at the command prompt (type "cmd" and ENTER
in your start menu). Run as administrator.

Method 1:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent, run the following command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository

Method 2:
net stop winmgmt /y
ren %windir%\system32\wbem\repository
%windir%\system32\wbem\repository.old
Then restart.

Re: Windows Security Center

Just jumping in here.

Vista Ultimate - fully up to date using default user account.

Trying Method One I get Error code:0x80041003, WMI, Access Denied.
Trying Method Two, I don't get past the Net Stop portion and I get System
Error 5 has occurred, Access is Denied.

How would I go about fixing those?
