I run Windows Defender if I also runs Windows Essentials?

My 8 year old computer's operating system is XP. I recently downloaded Windows essentials and get rid of my previous anti-virus/spyware software.  I run Windows Defender if I also runs Windows Essentials?

Are you a person speaking of Windows Live Essentials, or Microsoft Security Essentials? The first has nothing to do with security. The latter, MSE, does this same work as Windows Defender and much more. It is not only unnecessary to run WD, you can't. MSE will it stop design to avoid conflicts and you can remove it from your machine completely if you wish.

  • error: 0 x 80280007 after installilng Windows Essentials Beta

    OK, so I recently installed the new beta version of Windows Essentials without problem, but I would like to start up messenger every time I'd get an error (don't remember what it says). Anyway finally just Messenger stopped working altogether. Then, I assumed that there must be something wrong with the new version beta so I uninstalled it. I used RevoUninstaller and then used Windows Install Clean Up to get rid of everything, and now there is no trace of live windows left on my computer. However, when I downloaded an earlier version of windows live and tried to install it, he repeats that I have a newer version of Windows Live on my computer, which, to my knowledge, I have not.

    So I would really appreciate if someone could help me! :)

    Your attempts could be thwarted by the fact that the Windows Installer Cleanup utility has removed by Microsoft recently because the use was breaking too many systems.  I hope that you have not added your "to the list?

    One thing you might try is the system restore to go back before you got the beta version.  If that gets things for you, you can paste or do the uninstall from there via programs and features and try reinstalling again.

  • error 0 x 80040705 occurred during the installation of windows essentials.what to do?

    error 0 x 80040705 is produced during the installation of windows essentials.what do? Help me please.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Answers.

    This error is caused by a lack of installation of DirectX. Usually some DX files are already installed, but Setup cannot overwrite them. In my case, some of the files in \windows\SystemWOW64 have been accidentally encrypted, and the Setup program does not overwrite them. I had to manually delete these files for the Setup program to succeed. The cause may be different for you, but following these steps should help to understand which files DX are the cause of the problem.
    1. Install DirectX User Runtimes (refreshed June 2010) of http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...ang=en&id=8109
    You will be asked to choose the directory to put the files extracted from the cabin.

    2. run dxsetup.exe from the directory in step 1.

    3. installation failure will probably happen. Look at \Windows\Logs\DXError.log and find the report. INF in the error log file.
    For example:
    [13/07/11 20:36:35] module: dxupdate (Mar 30 2011), file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 2056, function: ExecuteInf
    Has no API: SetupInstallFromInfSection()
    Error: (5) - access is denied.
    Cannot install C:\Users\Foo\AppData\Local\Temp\DXA1BC.tmp\d3dx9_31_x86.inf: [x64_install]. The file is possibly corrupted.

    4. the INF files are files of configuration information, which are used to install the files listed in these. In this example, d3dx9_31_x86.inf is the. INF file. First, try to determine the. DLL file installed with this INF using the name of the INF file and look for a DLL with a name similar to \windows\systemwow64, if you are using 64-bit Windows, in \windows\system32, if you are using 32-bit Windows. In many cases, the name of the INF should tell you what DLL it installs, as shown in the examples below:

    xinput1_3_x86.inf
    install xinput1_3.dll
    d3dx9_33_x86.inf
    installs d3dx9_33.dll
    d3dx9_31_x86.inf
    install d3dx9_31.dllif you can't say the name that installs DLL has failed, you will need to watch the CAB file. See \Windows\Logs\DirectX.log to determine what CAB file has been processed before the error. Go to the directory you have chosen in step 1, and then open this CAB file in Explorer file by double clicking it. That will open a window of the Explorer showing the files in the cabin, including a file INF open the INF file, by right-clicking on the file and choosing extractin the menu contextual. The INF file has entries indicating that it installs the DLL as follows:

    [DirectX_System]
    D3dx9_38.dll [DirectX_SysWOW64]
    D3dx9_38.dll
    5. the likely installation failed because this DLL could not be replaced by the installation program. Find out why it could not be crushed and delete it manually from \windows\systemwow64 or \windows\system32.

    6. go to step 2 and repeat until the installation is successful.

    See you soon.

  • Cannot access Windows Essentials 2012

    I installed Windows Essentials 2012 on my brand new laptop Windows 8 running. It appears in the Control Panel, but I can't figure out how to actually open programs. Can someone help me?

    You should have the tiles on the screen of Start * for Windows Essentials 2012 programs that you have installed - for example, Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker. Just click on the tile to open this program. You can see that the tiles are on the far right of the splash screen, so you may need to scroll right to see.

    Alternatively, you can search for programs. In the Start screen, start typing the name of the program, until it appears. You can then left click on it to open it or right click on it and then click PIN to the taskbar or Pin to Start.

    * To get the Startup screen you move pointer at the top or at the bottom right corner of the screen to bring up the charms bar , then select Start.

  • Windows Essentials will not install

    I downloaded the windows essentials Installer: (wlsetup - web.exe) from the Microsoft Web site.  When I click Run, the dialog box opens asking me if I want to run the program, I click Yes... and then nothing happens.  Don't no error messages, no progression install... dialog etc.  Windows 8 64 bit family.

    Try to download the Installer (full) offline instead and use it to do the installation.

  • Windows Essentials 2012 seems frozen during installation.

    My Windows Live Mail, not sure of the version or the year, suddenly began to fail on opening sometimes (irregular); So I decided to reinstall. I could not find on the Microsoft Download Site "Windows Live". I found Windows Essentials however.

    I am running Windows 8 on an HP laptop. Intel Core i5; 6 GB of ram. Shut down other applications.

    Possibly related: Windows Explorer, files, not THE Manager, sometimes fails. In particular, the creation of a new folder causes WE stop working. Do not know if the two are related; but generally allows for more information.

    I have automatic updates enabled.

    I have run Norton 360, including the firewall. I had no problem to the current installation of the Norton software beyond applications insisting that I turned off my anti-virus. Windows Essentials did not ask me to do.

  • I can't find Windows Essentials in my control panel?

    When I looked in my control panel I don't see my windows essentials?
    also can I delete my old files to windows safely?

    Windows Live Essentials is a Suite of separate programs and does not a manager in the Panel itself. Instead what direction he gets there by the entry in the list programs and features.

    Once you have moved the files that you want to keep the Windows.old directory using disk cleanup > Clean system files utility to delete the folder to avoid problems of permissions.

    I would try a Setup offline first before try something else.

    Somewhere during the download of WLE part, I have a suspicion

    as the files are to be damaged because of the speed, or lack of

    your internet connection.

    You can download and save setup proper, offline

    the link below and follow the instructions to see if it solves the problem.
