Windows Defender will not start or run

An interesting error occurred on my desktop with the Vista 64 bit during the

first part of December '07.

For the first time since Vista was loaded (about 1 October) I thought that I

would start Windows Defender and scan the computer. This would be the first

time in over two months. I got the following message:

-----------------------------------------

Windows Defender ---

Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. A problem caused this

program's service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or

search Help and Support for how to start a service manually.

-----------------------------------------

So I rebooted. Got the same message. So I went to the various places on

the internet trying to find a solution to start Defender. None have worked

so far. There were a lot of threads on XP, but I only found one on Vista.

I even uninstalled MS Update <KB931099>, which was suppose to be a complete

new Win Defender install and then reinstalled it again (with a reboot in

between). No soap either with this change. Everything works OK on the

desktop so I have gave up to find a solution at that time.

I checked my laptop (Vista 32 bit) and defender works as it should. I could

always go back to the repair of Vista on the desktop and I might do that

sometime in the future. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks!

are you running Microsoft OneCare?

If so, windows defender is turned off in One Care because One Care has its

one built in WD.

Some people had a problem after the last MS update.

I personally do not use OneCare because of all its problems.

Don't know whether this will help you or not, but I have a post open on

similar lines see post "Win Defender non start?"

For some reason, don't ask me why, but my defender is now starting 8 times

out of 10 (I'm logging it) after I re-checked some of the option boxes, see

my post. On the non start occasions, I am manually starting with no issues. I

still don't understand why though the security centre is not giving warnings.

Be interested to know if this helps you though!

I had same problem. Fixed by going to control pannel-administrative tools -

services - select Windows Defender-right click for properties-choose startup

options and select automatic. Restart and no problems since.
