| Guest | services in vista I have disabled some services that I do not want running but they still seem to want to start. How can I disable them so they will not run? The services in question are: security center, windows Defender. There are other services like Bluetooth that I don't use and the laptop does not have anyway and they do not cause any problems. I can right click on the icon in the tray and turn off security center, but it still should not even start when the service is disabled. Defender puts an icon in the tray stating that it failed to start, and I have to right click it and choose exit. This just doesn't seem right. |

| Guest | RE: services in vista You cannot disable those services. There are protections in Vista that prevents the security-relevant services from being disabled, under normal operations.

This just doesn't seem right. Can't comment on Security Centre (not sure why you would want this turned off?). Defender comes in two parts, the service that runs in the background and does what it does - you've disabled this already, and a program that runs at startup to interact with the user. You've disabled the service and left the startup program running, and the startup program is complaining that it can't connect to the service. This makes sense enough to me, I have to say. Stop the startup program too, and all should be well. |

| Guest | Re: services in vista Thank you for the suggestions. could not run the takeown commands. Took ownership via the properties option. Used msconfig to turn off Defender-it still seems to want to start. No more SC though. Thank you again.

| Guest | Re: services in vista > And...................................... ![]() ![]() You've disabled crucial features of the operating system. It is now anyone's guess whether the system will work properly, whether you can install any new programs, updates or service packs, whether the system is still considered genuine for purposes of downloading add-ons from Microsoft, or whether the system will even continue to run properly over the longer term. The OS was designed around these features being there and available. It has not been tested without them. |
