Everytime i turn on my pc i get a pop up saying: Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba, i have vista and downloaded Reg Cure, and ran a scan. It said i have 755 errors on my pc so i clicked on the "Fix It" and it just said i had to purchase a full version of Reg Cure in order to fix the problem. I'm not sure what to do at this point, can someone please help???Thank you,

Hi, Thank you for your post. Regarding the error Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba, please try the following suggestions: 1. Register Windows Defender related DLL files. 1) Open an elevated command prompt and type regsvr32 <file name>, and then click OK. Note: In this step, file name is a placeholder for the following files. 2) Repeat this procedure for the following files: wuapi.dll wuaueng.dll wucltui.dll wups.dll wuweb.dll atl.dll softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll mssip32.dll 3) After the files are registered successfully, please reboot the computer to see if it works. 2. Please perform a Clean Boot to check if there are some conflicts. Clean boot ================= 1) Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window. 2) Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3) Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All", then check the item Windows Defender and click "OK". Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. NOTE: we can go back to normal boot by running msconfig again and checking on Normal Startup in the General tab. In the Clean Boot Environment, the third party services and applications are disabled, please check if the issue reoccurs at this time. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You may use the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit. Hope this helps. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT
