Windows Defender won't start on Vista; Can 0x800705b4 & 0x800106ba errors, anyone help?

Hello

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate Pro and Windows Defender worked fine until Verizon has install me it is Backup Assistant. Now I can't get Windows Defender to start. I received an error 0x800705b4 initially, but now just keep we get an error 0x800106ba whenever I try to start. I went to the Internet for a solution and this is the one that I thought might work:

Tom McC: "I had the same problem. Fixed by going to the control of the Control Panel-administrative tools - services - select Windows Defender-right click for proprietesent - choose boot options, and select automatic. To restart and no problems since. »

But when I open the Control Panel, I had no options, said Tom McC. Not to mention that under Vista, this is:

1. open the control panel

2. open system & maintenance

3. open administrative tools

However, once there, there's no option to choose Windows Defender or ONE of my startup programs. Furthermore, when I tried of all this that I made right click has a drop down menu that says:

1 Explorer (which showed only the administrative programs/apps tools)

2. open (which showed programs administrative tools in the tree of the C drive)

3 Win - Zip (which allows me to files in the administration tools, or those that it contains zip)

4 News (which allows me to create a new folder or briefcase in administrative tools)

That's why I came here. I am totally confused and need all the help I can get.

Sincerely,

Hello

"and Windows Defender has worked until Verizon had me install...". »

You have an Antivirus installed; which is a necessity?

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.

And here are the tips to reactivate it.

Are you sure that your computer doesn't have any malicious software, that you don't mention using an Antivirus?

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"

  • Windows Defender won't start does not automatically, it's because I use AVG anti-virus software?

    I recently downloaded the free version of AVG v.9, which seems to work very well. However Windows Defender no longer seems work fine, normally this is an error message saying that it does not work and I have to manually start even if I set it to start automatically. Sometimes it does not start at all.  Is it a problem because I use AVG and I have to run Windows defender, while running AVG?


    I got appreciatte all boards.


    Thanks J.

    And even if you change Microsoft Security Essentials, it will turn off Defender, because it has its own integrated version of Defender.

  • 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.

    See the excellent response of Mick [Hi Mick].

    In addition...
