Failure on XP at "Starting Services"

[sunnyvet]

I recently added a new master drive on my XP system using WDs imaging
software to copy over the partition that held the OS and Apps.

Windows defender would not start and I couldn't delete the program. I
downloaded the Windows Install Cleanup tool to remove WD which was
successful. I atempted to download the latest version and keep getting
through the installation up until it states "Starting Services" and stops
stating "verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I
have system administrator priviliges. and never received this question in
previous downloads.

I have tried all the suggestions in the various posts here, including the
verification and diagnostic posts. I am all out of ideas after spending
several hours on this. Hope some one can staighten me out...

Weird writing this to myself but all is well. Services said the app was off
but a scan had run last night. I tried starting it and it failed. Restarting
and everything appears working properly. Go figure...

I am having the same problems the service keeps stopping and this is a
completely new download from microsoft and I am running XP Home SP2. The
error cod is 0x800106ba A problem has caused this service to stop. Any help
would be a appreciated.

My problem was corrected by going to the Control Panel, then Administrative
Tools, then services. Find windows Defender, Stop it, then do a restart.

You could also search Windows support or Google for that error code. I
didn't have that code number but seem to remember something similar in my
journeys.

Good Luck!

Hi James,

You can repair Windows Defender.

First exit WD, Open WD main page, click the down arrow to the right of the
white question mark in blue circle and then click Exit Windows Defender;

using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.

Click WD and click Change. Click Next, and then click Updªte.

If you still have the same message, try this:


First exit WD, Open WD main page, click the down arrow to the right of the
white question mark in blue circle and then click Exit Windows Defender;

using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.

Click WD and click Support Information and click Repªir.


Rebºot.
