Thank you for responding..i am sorry my delayed response. I was out on business and unable to get back to this issue. What is sfc /scannow? i am not sure what this does? The system was reloaded clean three times and still has this issue. This is a PIII 1ghtz pc. Thank you all and look forward to getting this box fixed. Anyone heard of maybe drivers causeing a conflict on the security center? Just a thoughts. Thanks again.

Sorry to be a pain. I know i am new here. I am just in a big bind and need to try to get this resolved. Anything at all that may be helpful will be very appreciated

Hello Everyone. I just installed a brand new copy of XP Home SP2 on a dektop computer. This drive is brand new and there are no applications on this drive, only has Windows installed. When the system boots up the red security system icon appears next to the time and states no anti virus installed. Which of course is true since we have not installed any applications. When you click on it there or the security center icon in the control panel, security center starts to load and then the computer freezes. The only way to get out of the freeze is through a hard reboot. Please let me know if anyone knows how this can be fixed. Thank you for your help. Brian
