Are you running Windows Live OneCare?
Could you supply some information on what your firewall is, anti-virus, other RTP programs, etc? - - -- "bobbypaintsstuf" wrote: i have two problems which i supose are related 1) every time i restart my computer i get the alert icon down the bottom of my computer telling me that security center is disabled . so then i click on it and my firewall is switched off and the live update is also switched of. i switch them on again and its fine till the next time i switch on the comp and its disabled again. 2) windows defender says it it running but when i click on it to access it, it tells me "application failed to initialise 0x800106ba.

ok looks like i have sorted the problem. it looks to have been "VISTA TWEEK"
that i installed from the VIST magazine last week. i had disabled the security center and internet connection through the visa tweek program while i was on the train playing games. i latter uninstalled the program but it looks to have kept those alterations EVEN after numeriouse restarts. i reinstalled it changed the settings and uninstalled it again. it seems to have returned to normal. JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU TO BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU INSTALL AND BE WARY OF WHERE IT COMES FROM !

usually this happens when a third party anti virus is installed. check to
see what anti virus is installed. The anti virus software is the one responsible for the disabling of the Windows defender application in order to prevent any compatibilty issues from arising. And if you force Defender to initialize while the anti virus is active errors occur of this level.. This holds true with your firewall application as well. The big names in anti virus such as Norto, AVG, Mcafee, CA, Trend Micro usally have their own firewall application as well as spyware and malware protection suite and they all disable the built in security features of Windows Vista namely Defender and the firewall.. The Security center can be disabled should you be annoyed by the constant reminder.. that some settings are off.
