0X800106ba This is what let me know.

You are right Tee Cee, USA I'm going to call it quits for tonight, I'll pick it up tomorrow and hopefully I can come up with a better suggestion..

 

Morning - I was doing some research and found that Windows defender requires Client for Microsoft Networks to be installed but not enabled. Did you uninstall this program by chance?

KathyM

 

Good Morning Kathy, I came across the same fix and read through it. Unfortunately since he doesn't have the Vista disk I don't think he can put it back. There are so many different options floating around the net, a lot of them not verified, it's going to take him a while to get to them all.
I asked for assistance from another MG "Dlb" and he was able to give me the following links that may help "USA". They however require patience and his time to get through them.

"USA",
first you are going to need to back up all your important documents to either a disk or a external hard drive, along with your important settings. Any programs that came after you installed Vista you may need to locate the disk for just in case somewhere along the line reinstalling Vista becomes necessary. Click on each one of the links provided 1 thru 4, they take you directly to Microsoft Knowledge base, and provide insite and solutions to Windows Defender errors.

1.Unable to enable Windows Defender application in Windows Vista

2.Troubleshooting Windows Defender

3.Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800106b5 This one is similar so read through it anyway

4.Application failed to initializeThis one looks to be the best option however at the very end it may require you to reinstall Vista from your recovery console


If you have questions or are not sure about any of the listed links please post and ask before you make any changes. Someone on MG should be able to assist you them to you...

 

Thanks KathyM and Buggabear, I think that is some great info and links. Today he has an outing with the boy scouts, :clap and will be back on with us later this evening... I just wanted to let you know, so you don't think he has totally left us... He will be back..

 

Hi - I will not be online this evening as we have plans.....but I will check in with this in the morning and see if USA accomplished all that is needed..In the interim (morning) I will see if there is anything else I can find out as well...thanks to both of you!! Have a great evening!! KathyM

 

Hi KathyM, Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep an eye on things this evening, and see if I or one of the other MG here can help him when he comes back.

You have a wonderful evening, and we will see ya in the morning! :wave

Hi USA, :wave take a look at Buggabear's post below, and read it and do exactly as he says... Maybe you can copy and past it;

It will take some time, but well worth it... Check it out, he has "4" things for you to do... What do you think?

OK TeeCee give me some time I need to download a lot of stuff all be back with you in a bit I will keep you posted thank you so much lots of smiles.

 

OK, USA, you take all the time you need.
We aren't going anywhere...

 

USA, How are you doing? :confused

 

How are you doing..doing time 15 mins

 

I am on page 53 on Kathy M the four steps One step to do not go through the second step same thing. I went to my control panel to find windows defender and I wasn't there to take out or repair. Step three but I know that I need to do is one and two step. Somehow I can't get through that.

 

Yes, USA, it is going to take time... Just take your time, and don't rush it..
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to post them;
If you run into something you don't understand, post it.
I will find a MG to answer your questions.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
USA, are you following this post? These are the four steps to be looking at.. You can click each one, they are links.....

 

Hello this is USA let's see who work on this tomorrow. I've been so busy over this weekend. Thank you for understanding Sorry to you leave you high and dry. Thank you all.:zzz

 

Form post number six from Halo


One thing to check if your using XP or above is in Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services is to locate Windows Defender in the list double click it and make sure that the service is Started and the Startup Type is set to Automatic, then reboot.

OK I went to control panel administration tools look for windows defender do not see it at all. Remember I have vista.

 

Looked like I tried everything that you showed me. Should I restart to manufacturing like brand new computer. I did download everything I needed to do that let me know if we should go in that direction. We'll play by ear.

MS Windows Security portal 32 bit windows defender update

USA I haven't given up yet, here is a direct link to a windows defender update. If you click on the link it will take you right to the download. Try this and see if it works for you. I'm still looking for a few more.

If it doesn't run from the direct link, save it, close all windows/programs open, and run as admin, then run the program

 

I have a question USA - do you have SP2?

KathyM

 

Kathy explain what is SP2 I would appreciate it.

buggabear OK I went to windows defender update I downloaded it. This is what happened it didn't show up weird OK. Let me know more good stuff. The rest the night I got boy scouts cool huh you know I mean think you guys so much all the help he had given me you know that I really really appreciated.:-D

 

Hello everyone, so sorry I wasn't here earlier, but with the nice weather, so comes the chores...:tired...... OK, so USA is still having problems...

I wonder, "DomLuc", now, just wondering, if when he did the system restore(?) would he be having any conflicts with his antivirus, IF his antivirus also had a firewall? I ask this, because my Trend Micro has a firewall, but I have that shut off, and use the Windows Firewall..

I am not as knowledgeable as the rest of you :-o....So, I am just trying to help by what I do know... If both were on, that may have caused a conflict with Windows Defender, maybe? Just a thought at this point, as nothing else seems to be working... Must put brain back to work!!! :confused

I am sure USA will keep us posted... Hang in there, USA, I am sure we will come up with something.........:wave

 

To your question DomLuc yes I understand I've putted in about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Maybe that's what's causing it. Now I know what SP1 got it. Get back to me. Thank you

TeeCee back to your question about the firewall probably may be the same time. Question marks. I wondering if I stalled the SP1 if that caused it. If that windows defender stopped working.??:cry

 

Do you think that's it, let me know.:-D

buggabear and KathyM

 

Good Morning "DomLuc", I will be off-line most of today, but thought I'd check in here first.

If USA uses either of the links you provided, would that 'remove' his security? Isn't there a way to just turn off the firewall in his security without removing it? :confused I think he has McAfee, but I doubt he would want to remove it, just shut off the firewall in it... Doesn't it have a user control panel? Hmmmm... :confused

OK, I'll check back when I get back from Dr. appts. today... :wave

 

Hi "DomLuc", maybe we should ask USA what security he is using, and take it from there.... Thanks for your reply, I almost missed it!!

OK, I hope USA checks in today, and maybe he can clarify things, and then we will know which direction to go in. OK, catch up with ya later, :wave

 

You are absolutely right.....I must have had a brain freeze

 

I asked him that question back in post 47 and in post 48 he responded mcafee he also stated he switched from Norton about 6 months prior

 

I read a lot. Yes I do have McAfee. I do not have Norton at this time.

 

That one question when I installed McAfee thin it uninstalled Norton at that time I could install McAfee. I hope this helps out.

 

I have a question do I need to uninstall SP1 to make this work.

 

As you did a factory restore, (NO) I do not do that yet..... then the programs (such as Norton or McAfee) that came with the system will now be back there. This question thread to 76 question.rolleyes

 

Too your question back then I restart my computer to manufacturing yes. Till now no. Hope this helps post # 32

 

I looked into my control panel to see if I had Norton no it's not in their. When I installed McAfee on February 20th 2009.

 

removal tools or your system (yes) I did. on Norton yes.

 

OK I understand what you're saying all do it now thank you

 

I want to start search for Norton Removal Tool do not find.

 

I feel like I'm an airhead sorry. Should we to this start this like a brand new computer to manufacturing point of view by crashing. What do you think this help.

 

That sounds good. Thank you for all you have done I appreciated.

 

Thank you all for help me out. Let's end this now. We are going to close this topic out. Please please please thank you.
