UAC= User Access Control
Without you knowing what it is and where to find it then no doubt you have
not turned it off and that's what I was wondering. Turning off UAC can cause
all kinds of problems and there is no long list yet as to what it can cause.
I thought maybe you had turned it off and wanted to see if maybe this was
effecting your system and causing you this problem.

Thanks all. I checked and UAC is turned on.
I still am getting a Security Alert Icon which tells me that my Security
Center service is turned off and when I click the button to turn it on, I get
a small message window saying that "The Security Center service cannot be
started." Any thoughts?

As of recently Trend is known to cause problems.

Replace Trend with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling Trend is not enough. You need to completely uninstall
it.
