Vista - Error 0x80070002

I can't even open my Windows Defender--it just comes up with error message
0x80070002.

Hello,

does it tell you any other message? Have you maybe upgraded to Vista:

It does say
"Application failed to initialize"
I followed the system restore steps but the problem was not resolved. It
only restored my computer to earlier this morning, though, and the program
hasn't worked for a while. Any other advice?

Hello Baileyks,

Switching off anti-virus scanner while updating
Disable all anti-virus, anti-spyware (including TeaTimer) product before
attempting Windows Update.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

I'm not sure what you mean by "before attempting windows update"--is there an
update I'm supposed to be conducting?

Hi Baileyks,

Sorry for the confusion, with error numbers, there is an other(s) problem
with the same number.
Error message when you try to update a Microsoft Windows-based computer:
