| | Re: Security Center failed The difference is that one is an earlier version (the RC version) than the other which means that more errors and issues will have been made before the RTM release and there will have been more improvements and issues sorted between RTM and the Final Retail version, so there is a good chance that one of us poor saps who have spent the last gawd knows how long testing will have had this or a similar problem which lead to a fix! I would start by running sfc to see if there has been some sort of corruption as a first stop "David" <David@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4B27DC2A-ADE2-4327-994C-A4D54AC626F0@microsoft.com... > Whats the difference?

| | Re: Security Center failed Actually, I would look at something third-party. Do you have any of the following: 1. Third-party Anti-virus 2. Third-party Firewall 3. Third-party Anti-spyware Security Center will call back to those programs to get their state. A bug in any one of them can cause the error you are seeing. I know bugs in third-party software sounds implausible, but it has actually happened in the past.

| | Re: Security Center failed Hey JASPER, I found the solution, it was in another forum, I just typed "services.msc" (without quotes) in the command line, then I looked for "Security Center" service, and it was stopped, so I just turned it on again and that´s it. Don´t know the reason why this happened but it doesn´t seemed something to worried about because everything inside Security Center was working. Hope this can help others users too.

| | Re: Security Center failed Do you know how to look in the event logs to find errors? If you just open event viewer it will tell you right on the main screen how many application errors you have had. Open those and see if anything relates to security center. If so, copy the event and paste it into a newsgroup response.
