Guest muffet Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, I run Vista Premium using Word 2003 and Norton Internet security: Since updating Last months updates and the various ones since, every time I start up my computer it tells me that Windows Defender is not turned on; this is getting a bit much having to turn it on every time I start up my computer. This never uses to happen, so if anyone can tell me how to overcome this I would appreciate it. Thank you in anticipation, Muffet. -- Quote
Guest Paul Wogstad Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Try: Ø Control Panel Ø Administrative tools Ø Services Ø then locate WD and double click it Ø select "startup type" as automatic Ø then click "log on" tab Ø click "Local System account" and check the only check box available. Ø Click the "recovery" tab and make sure WD tries at least two times to start Ø Now, click the "General" Tab and click "start" "muffet" <muffet@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CAF09B13-FA03-4637-A114-F375DEB9E53D@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > Hi, > > I run Vista Premium using Word 2003 and Norton Internet security: > > Since updating Last months updates and the various ones since, every time > I > start up my computer it tells me that Windows Defender is not turned on; > this > is getting a bit much having to turn it on every time I start up my > computer. > > This never uses to happen, so if anyone can tell me how to overcome this I > would appreciate it. > > Thank you in anticipation, > > Muffet. > > -- > </span> Quote
Guest muffet Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Paul, Thank you so much for your help, I have only just seen your reply: I have followed your very easy to follow instructions to the letter and presto no more trouble on start up. Only a little thing but very annoying. I needed to check the box in the "Local System Account" (mine was not checked) Once again Thank You Muffet -- "Paul Wogstad" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Try: > Ø Control Panel > > Ø Administrative tools > > Ø Services > > Ø then locate WD and double click it > > Ø select "startup type" as automatic > > Ø then click "log on" tab > > Ø click "Local System account" and check the only check box available. > > Ø Click the "recovery" tab and make sure WD tries at least two times to > start > > Ø Now, click the "General" Tab and click "start" > > > > > > "muffet" <muffet@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:CAF09B13-FA03-4637-A114-F375DEB9E53D@microsoft.com...<span style="color:green"> > > Hi, > > > > I run Vista Premium using Word 2003 and Norton Internet security: > > > > Since updating Last months updates and the various ones since, every time > > I > > start up my computer it tells me that Windows Defender is not turned on; > > this > > is getting a bit much having to turn it on every time I start up my > > computer. > > > > This never uses to happen, so if anyone can tell me how to overcome this I > > would appreciate it. > > > > Thank you in anticipation, > > > > Muffet. > > > > -- > > </span> > > </span> Quote
