Help with Windows Defender, it will not run!

Has anyone got a fix to this problem....I got it too Rick!
0x800106ba error, to fix open manually but the windows defender will not open.
Microsoft indicate that it is an error associated with expired licence or
whatever and suggest removal of and reinstalling windows defender
but........you cannot remove windows defender installed on a vista system..no
progams listed in add/remove programs via control panel

My computer is a laptop with oem vista ultimate installed and windows
defender has NEVER worked.
Have another computer with vista home installed with NO windows defender
issues

Did you check to see if the WD service has been Disabled ?
Are there any other anti-spyware programs installed ?
Is Windows Live OneCare installed ?

Yes, it is 'part' of svchost. Suggest you run sfc /scannow to ensure
that all system files are intact: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

Does AVG 8 contain a spyware component ? You may need to disable it in
order to allow WD to run properly ... if it's set up the same as on the
other PC, then you *should* not have to fiddle with it.
Note the *should*

Hi Engle and MowGreen
Me again....I looked at Event Viewer (not sure what section to look
and under microsoft/windows/code integrity/ there is 2 events that com
up as errors
Theye are event 3002(recently) and event 3004 since new (FBIKB_NT.Sy
because file hash could not be found on system
Microsoft say to repair system via windows disk but I have oem vist
installed and dont think I was given disk.....so how do I do this (vi
F8 on boot?
In event veiwer, should I look for anything else (assoc with wi
defender...where?
Thanks again
