Re: error 800106ba and no way to reinstall it


You may be getting the error if you don't have 'automatic updates'
turned on, or your firewall isn't configured to correctly for your
security applications.

I am on dial-up, so I've turned automatic updates off. Since I've done
that, I've also had to disable Windows Defender.

These are free anti-spyware programs that work with Vista (they need to
be manually updated)
