Hello,
For the past month I've been getting an error message from Security Center,
saying it is turned off however I am unable to open it.
I had Norton trial and have just installed Bitdefender. Normally I should be
able to click in security center that I have my own software but am unable to
do so :(
I went into Security Center Properties and got the following message:
"configuration manager: the specific device instance handle does not
correspond to a present device"
I then noticed that the Security Center was STOPPED. I got the following
message when I tried to start it: "Windows would not start Security Center
Sevice on Local Computer. Error 1079: The account specified for this service
is different from the account specified for other services running in the
same process." Can anyone help me.....

To keep it short, go to the Services off of the Start Button, Control
Panel/Admin Tool and find the Security Center Service. You right-click the
line and go to Properties to the Logon tab. You go to Use this Account and
enter Local Service and leave password blank click OK. Then you Start the
service.

I don't what is causing the problem, but I suspect the uninstalling and
installing of security software has caused the password to become corrupted.
You might get the same message after the service starts successfully when
you try to view the service's dependencies, but the service will start.
