Hello

  1. Did you changes to the computer before the problem occurred?

Method 1: I suggest you unregister and re - register the windows setup program and check if that helps you. To do this, please follow the steps below:

Unregister and register the Windows Setup program again

(a) click Start, click run and then type cmd in the dialog box, and then click command prompt.

(b) at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after each line:

MSIExec /Unregister

MSIExec/regserver

Method 2:
Also I suggest you to update your installation Package of Windows with the latest version of Windows Installer available in the link below.

    Hi, I have problems with my Security Center, I can't put it, I get an error indicating that the SECURITY CENTER can NOT BE STARTED! And everytime I open Windows Defender, I get this error "Windows Defender encountered an error 0 * 80070424.The indicated there is no service as an installed service.»

    What it means? I tried to update the windows Defender, but the update process has been abandoned because windows has detected that the windows Defender has been pre loaded with VISTA

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually activate new Windows (do not take into account information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware.

    I suggest that you now download, install, update and scan with it to check the malware

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

    Hello

    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  • Windows gives me an error message that the selected drive has been "marked as potentially damaged - check disk before use as back up.

    -I wonder so I wish "disassemble this first volume" - "... all handles opened to this volume will become invalid..."

    Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.
    If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.

  • Error: System cannot find the path specified during the installation of most of the programs of the C drive

    I can't install most of the system disk c.It programs always show me "system cannot find the path specified." But, when I copy it to a disk D it starts installing. Most of the programs is not installed properly, because it seems that they cannot access some areas on the system drive. I tried already to check drive C for errors. It did not help. »

    I solved my problem. It seems that Windows 7 creates additonal 100 MB partition with the system partition. When I reinstall Windows 7 I formatted the C drive but not the extra partition and perhaps this conflict has caused. I installed the system again but I have two of these drives formatted and it works normally again. Thanks anyway.

    I run an xp windows 2003-04. My computer does not start completely and if I click on debug or put end to the program there just restarts the computer. How can I solve this problem? and is it possible that I can update my software?

    You say that you can not even start in Safe Mode, so method 1 will not help you, method 2 will not help you and 3 method will not help you.

    I start in the XP Recovery Console and first run a chkdsk/r on the afflicted system, but since we don't know anything about your system, we will need more information.

    It is a shame that in the forums MS Answers, the first response to a new question is (or should be) a request for more information...  You are 5 days in your problem, and so for him it seems that you are not getting anywhere.  If the thread goes inactive for more than a few days, the response of the Microsoft Support Engineer will become the 'response' automatically because it has links to the KB articles.

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
