Windows Vista Internet will not connect

[Sirbobthethird]

Hey, when I start up my computer I get this message:

Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. 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 have tried restarting my computer several times. I can not find which service to use in H&S.

Thanks all.

Hi there

I've just had a look around, and think you might find some help here
It looks like a Windows Defender error, but there is a resolution to the problem on the Microsoft page I've linked to. Hope it will help you.

Did you try clicking "Start" then typing Windows Defender into the Start Search box? It should come up for you then.
