I have Windows Vista. I can't the Windows Defender to stay lit. I went to tools, options, real-time protection, save & even restarted my computer. Am I missing something? I did it several times even. Then every time I check to see if it is on it says it's off. Help! My computer needs it. Thanking you in advance for your help.
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 enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"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:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

I just reinstalled XP pro and I can't get the updates from the windows update web site. Whats up with this please help
There is no way that anyone might be able to help without more. My initial guess and it is just a guess, is that you have to update Internet Explorer .v8. Click HERE and download IE8 and install it. Try again updates once the installation is complete.

Hi simonw33448541,
Please, try the following:

2. If the option above didn't work, then you can use Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat cleaning - Adobe Labs tool to remove Acrobat completely from your system, then try to re - install Acrobat and then apply the latest patch.

I have Windows Media Player 11 and can't seem to get the mini Player to show when I minimize it. When I right click near the clock, what I see under the toolbars is links, language bar, desktop and quick launch bar. What happened to the option of the Media Player window, and how can I get it back?
Hi RachelAllee,
1. you remember to make changes on your computer before this problem?
You can again save wmp.dll, and then search for the question.
a. Click Start, run and type:
regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Windows Media Player wmpband.dll"
b. press enter and restart the computer and check.
Hope this information is useful.
