Security Center alerts not showing in System Tray

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I know I messed something up monkeying with the Registry. I am not getting
any Security Center warnings in the System Tray. I have a feeling that this
may have occurred when I went through the Registry trying to clean it of
anything related to Symantec in an attempt to do a reinstallation.

Is there a registry entry I could create that would re-enable this?

Thanks for your help.

protection

Anytime you use Regedit, be sure to first make a Save copy of all of registry. (File , Save).

If you are still having a problem with Security Center:
Given you have Windows XP, select RUN option from Start menu. Type in
SERVICES.MSC

Scroll down list of Windows services. Does Security Center show ? and if so, what is the Status? Startup Type should be automatic.

Find the "Restore Security Center Service" at Kelly's XP Korner Tweaks and Fixes page.
Try the edit on line #338 ( right hand side of page)
