Windows Security Center wont start

Guest

My windows security center will not start, it says "the security center is
currently unavailable because the Security Center service has not started or
was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the
Security Center service) and then open the Security Center again.

I have tried this and it doesnt work. How can I switch it back on again?

Thanks in advance

Mr. Vogel,

I need some advice with my Security Center. I tried your advice below, and
I got a RUNDLL script error. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Krit,

Did you get any error messages? Did you right-click the REG file and then
choose "Merge". You may try the procedure again from Safe mode.

I tried the below and got an error message. Should I try to reinstall Pack 2?

Get rid of your Norton software. It stuffs up Security Centre. Make sure
you fully uninstall it - use their removal tool - and then get something
better.
