Windows Defender: "Error Code 0x800106ba Application Failed To Initialize"
Mar 4, 2009
My daughter suddenly experiences: Windows Defender: "Error Code 0x800106ba Application failed to initialize" This is a fairly new machine (running Vista Home Premium) and it was delivered with McAfee virus protection installed. The initial McAfee license is about to expire so she renewed that license for a permanent licence today. There may of course be a connection here, but I fail to see what that connection could be.
She was guided to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931849 which suggests to initially remove (uninstall) Windows Defender and then reinstall it. The only problem with this is that Windows Defender is not included in the list of installed programs that can be uninstalled, and when she tries to "reinstall" it Windows Defender is reported as already present on the system. I checked on my own system where Windows Defender is running without any problem, and the same applies here: Windows Defender is not listed among installed programs.

I got this error message after I turn off Windows defender via GPO in AD on a Vista PC: windows defender application failed to initialize 0x800106ba? I am looking for solution for the error.
Scenario:
AD 2003
Vista enterprise installation
Office 2007 installed
McAfee installed
McAfee firewall is installed
Windows defender can be turned off
Disabling the Windows defender GPO results in the error after rebooting the system: windows defender application failed to initialize 0x800106ba?

I just downloaded a bunch of application and did a lot of work on my computer. I do however, have samantic endpoint virus protection and did a couple of scans with no problems. When i try to open windows defender i am getting an error that says. Application failed to initialize: 0 x 800106ba. A problem caused this program's service to stop. To start the service restart your computer or search Help and Support for how to start a service manually. I restarted and tried to open it but got the same error.

Windows Defender application failed to iniatialise 0x800106ba. A problem caused this program service to stop.
I have tried to download this again, but it says it is already installed on my Vista, but if I try to run it, the above error message appears and does so every time I start up, so I just get stuck in a loop!

I'm running windows Vista Ultimate but have a couple of issues. First one is that I can't start defender at all, I can't update it because windows says it's already part of vista and I can't figure out how to uninstall it. The error message is 0x800106ba. Second issue is that I can't change the windows update settings, I have administrator rights but can't figure out how to change it, the options are greyed out.

I have a HP Mefia Center that came with XP preloaded and I made recovery disks. They also offered Vista free. I got the Vista and it came with "Upgrade Assistant" I ignored the assistant expecting it was more PR crap. I installed the Vista and it worked ok but I saw that XP was better. The installation did not give any option other than "clean install". After trying to install an old program that failed I started have problems with failed initializing programs including IE7. I was getting data execution prevention errors. On startup I get; Application failed to initialize 0x00000005. A problem caused program to stop working.

Cannot open any *.exe files to include browsers. I have tried to do a system restore, but did not help. I have also tried everything in safe mode with no luck.
I have tried to run hijackthis, but it won't run either.

My Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium has failed to load the subject update on 20 different occasions since 13Nov09. The "Error Details" is Code 80073712, which is nothing more than a general error code with no specific fixes recommended.

Vista 64 Home Premium. Woke to find my computer had rebooted itself during the night and Windows failed to restart. Didn't catch the error code, but the message said if Windows won't restart, insert startup disc and do a repair. That is what I ended up doing as Windows simply wouldn't start up. Anyway, repair worked but my desktop looks like from a week ago. The desktop icons for Thunderbird and a couple of other recently installed programs are no longer there. Their program folders, however, are still in the Program Files folder but with no .exe file. Is there a way to repair the programs so that they are in sync with my current windows install?
This is a new machine recently purchased from a popular online vendor. They installed Vista. I've only had it two weeks and have kept it in pristine condition and it has been working fine....until now. I think Vista tanked overnight during an update. I'm new to Vista, has this happened to others?

hoping some of you technical wizards can help me on this! Right i have Vista 32bit running on my Acer, Had it about 1 year now. Every so often it performs crash dumps ( a little more often then it should do actually) Last friday night it did a crash dump, then when restarting it just wouldnt....It kept showing a blank screen for about 30 minutes. then it would go to Windows Start-up repair, and just go on and on for about another 30 minutes, then tell me it couldnt find anything wrong.
I tried Loading in safe mode, with command prompt and networking help but it judt did exactly the same. I ran the memory diagnostic and found no problems. So then i restored the system to before a Windows update on the same day this all happened. Exactly the same kept happening, Some times i would get as far as logging on after about an hour of waiting. It would Log on and then just freeze. I restored to a few days before last friday and tried again, exactly the same kept happening. Then this morning it got to the log on screen. i tried logging on and it said something along the lines of 'Windows has failed to Activate. error code0x80070426' I havent got any back-ups on disk (stupid i know, i was actually going to do one before this happened) I havent got the operating system disk as the computer came pre-installed with Vista and had no Disk. I know i could probably restore the system to factory setting somehow, but i dont want to lose verything on there! There must be something i can do.

I have been in a long process with HP to resolve a HP Photosmart C6250 printer in Vista Business. After a month of email support from HP I was told they had exhausted their resources and to call for telephone support. After several hours over two or three days, the tech (island of Cebu, Philipine Islands) identified a failure.In the software installation process, regsvr32 calls for a vbscript.dll. An Error Message results: "The module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005". His solution was to reformat and re-install Vista, etc.This seems somewhat similar to other printer istallation problems I noticed in searching previous forum entries.

I'm trying to install either Firefox or Flock and I get the following error: Quote: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. I click "OK" and the program does open with, as it says, incorrect behaviour.

in my Windows Update, this 'optional' update is forever on there, waiting for me to install it. Well, when I do try to install it, it just ends up failing with error code 80070103 (Unknown error). Is this update necessary for regular use or do I need it, despite it being labeled optional. Oh, and why does it fail continually?

I recently got Halo 2,and before I had I had ran a test and it said I met the minimum requirements. When I tried to install it however, it would change my resolution to 800 x 600, the display the message-(Initialization failed.Either insufficient system resources were found to run the game or game data is missing or damaged.Reinstalling the game may fix this problem. When I also try to customize game install,it tells me-Installation cannot be customized after game installation is initialized. I looked at some other threads and tried to update my graphics driver,but it said I had a custom driver installed and trying to install another driver may damage it.

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

The computer has worked fine since then, I've used the internet at wi-fi hotspots around my city, with never a single problem...until last night. While I was on-line at home, I was checking a website that I have always checked before without issue when my Windows Defender suddenly popped open and said that my computer was under threat and blocked Internet Explorer from me and started running a diagnosic. Well apparently it said that I had like 26 infections in my computer. That I had worms, spyware, adware, that someone was watching my key logs, etc, etc, and it gave me the option to click on the remove all. So I clicked on it, but instead of doing anything, another message box appeared saying that my Windows Defender is not the full version and that I must either purchase the full version or enter my key code for it. I don't have a key code since I never bought this program, was pre-installed.
Anyways, now whenever I try to open Internet Explorer, the Windows Defender pops up and says that my IE is infected and asks if I would like to purchase the full Windows Defender. I have clicked on both options. If I say "no", the computer blocks my IE, if I say yes, it opens my IE, but instead of taking me to a Windows website, it takes me to www.antivirus-care.com, which my browser says does not exist and instead takes me to another page with a listing of anti-virus program sites to buy from. Well, all this seems fishy to me because I can't do anything with the Windows Defender program. I can't turn it off, I can't change its settings, or even look at other options it has. Instead whenever I try the message window of "would I like to buy the full version now?" appears and keeps appearing.
