He also says "" the activation server reported that the product key has exceeded there unlock limit. ""

  Windows Defender does not draw attention to the changes to the system, good event 'active' s, I don't get the error messages. How can I solve this problem?

• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• Windows Defender does not illuminate? is this because I also have MS security essentials or SUPER antispyware on my system?

  I wanted to use the tools in windows defender to disable programs start, but when I click it a window appears and says windows defender is disabled.  and there are blue letters that say start and defender of open windows, when I click on that nothing happens and the window hangs there for a few seconds.  Other spyware or security programs prevent Defender windows open or marketing?

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  If it's not:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  For startup programs:

  In search > Type: msconfig > etc etc, > modify startup programs there.

  Or, try this;

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

• Windows Defender does not start automatically now.

  Since last week, Windows Defender will automatically start.  He has always done in the past.  It shows to the extent permitted in the list in the Windows Explorer startup programs and also listed as automatic in the section of the computer management services.  I opened a few days ago to check the updates, and I got a little window that says "Windows Defender is disabled" and it had a link to activate it, I clicked, and it did turn on.  Because of this, whenever I turn on my laptop, I check Windows Defender and of course, she is still not and I have to turn it on manually.  I also have McAfee Security Suite, Spybot Search & Destroy and Microsoft Security Essentials, Ad Aware, Malware Bytes.  More McAfee is the only one that I pay.  But I had all these programs installed to the Windows Defender stopped automatically starting.  I don't have the error messages and have never know on this subject if I did not check for updates once.  I am running Vista Home Basic 32-bit with SP2.

  Alice L.

  See the excellent response of Mick [Hi Mick].

  In addition...

  In order to avoid conflicts and errors please do not run two antivirus programs (McAfee and Microsoft Security Essentials) and two antispyware programs at the same time.

  "McAfee 2009 for Windows Vista consumer products disable Microsoft Windows Defender to improve the performance of the system. Windows Vista users who have installed the McAfee 2009 consumer products should not activate Windows Defender... »
  See: http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100610

• Windows Defender will not be updated

  I am experiencing strange shift of internet and I think it's because Windows Defender won't be able to update. I am running Vista x 64 final. I recently started to receive a new error every time I start my computer, something to the effect of Windows Defender service is unable to start. If I try to start it manually, I got the error: 0 x 80070003: the system cannot find the path specified.

  Normally I wouldn't complain about windows Defender does not because I have my own solutions, but I believe that it is still problematic within my system. Every half hour or so, my firewall warns me to say that something in a temporary folder called mpistub.exe or something is trying to access the internet. I found this exe is a windows update, so I allow it through. Now, I believe that because the service cannot start, the update is impossible to apply and continues to go to the internet to try to get a shift to internet update, causing news for my pc everything.

  Someone knows something like that? I would like to reinstall windows Defender so that it can update itself and let my only internet. And I don't mean simply turning on or off; I can't do this if the service does not start. Oh and I tried to restore to an earlier date, it is not far enough.

  What do you use for your antivirus protection? Windows Defender is not necessary if you use AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton or McAfee. These AV programs have their own antispyware component builtin and allows you to disable Windows Defender by design.
