I installed SP2 (disc) to XP-Pro.

In Control Panel-Classic View, System, it reflects XP Pro and SP2 are
installed.

In Control Panel-Classic View, there is no icon for Security Center.

In Control Panel-Classic View there is an icon for Windows Firewall; when I
click on it the Windows Firewall screen opens (3 tabs)

In Control Panel-Category View, at the bottom of the second row, is a four
colored shield; when I click on it- - -nothing happens.

When I go to Programs, Accessories, Security Center is listed; when I click
on it - - - nothing happens.

Please advise If this message should be posted to a more appropriate
newsgroup.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Go to Start > Run and type: Services.msc , and hit enter.
Scroll down to "Security Center", right-click on it and select
Properties, set the Startup type to Automatic, then Start or
Restart this service.

I tried your fix; "automatic" was already selected.

Problem persists.

Thanks for your help
