Windows Defender fails to initialize

Running Vista Home Premium. Lately when I boot the PC, I get a message box
that states: "Windows Defender failed to initialize". But when I go to the
Security Settings and open Defender it 'appears' to be running. I checked
my FW/AV (Zone Alarm Security Suite) and also ThreatFire, and they do not
appear to be blocking anything related to Defender.
Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.

PS - I have tried to do an update but there are none that show.
