I see a lot of people complaining about having to move to the UAC dialog box and click to allow the action that you want. I felt the security was useful, but found it tedious to have to move the mouse to the confirmation button. But now I just type Alt-C so my fingers don't even have to leave the keyboard.
Sorry, I know that won't solve your problem; but hopefully it will mitigate the pain a bit!
BTW, I bought a laptop last week that has Windows Vista Home Premium and am also having problems with OneCare. It doesn't seem to talk to Windows Security Center. The Windows Firewall is often off, but there's no listing for any other firewalls; the same is true for Windows Defender.
I'm guessing that OneCare has a firewall & spyware/malware protection, and that's overriding the Windows ones. Moreover it says that Windows Live OneCare isn't compatible. :-(
I'm sure it's a great product, but it's not cheap, and I'm pretty frustrated with it now. If it has a built-in functionality (firewall, spyware/malware protection) it would be nice to know, and even nicer if it communicated that with Vista!
