Galt Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 1. Vista RC2 5744 as an update for a previous WinXP Pro. 2. Removed the original WD from WinXP Pro prior to install of Vista. (Noted Signature files could not be removed.3. Ran Reg Mechanic, did a cleanup, and defrag of XP prior to Vista install.(Failed to image XP) 4. Vista install went smoothly5. The problem is when I tried to install the latest version of Windows Defender. it says to uninstall previous version which I'd already done. (My error missing WD was en-bedded in Vista and not removable) 6. Also, system said Windows defender is already installed with Vista and I just need to activate but when I tried to activate (turn on) windows defender it says "TRY AGAIN LATER" tried it so many times but the answer is the same.7. Scoured the net, MS, and found one other Forum with a few complaining of the same problem, however no solutions offered.Any offers of a plan-of-attack, would be appreciated.

usasma Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Looks like you're gonna have to do some registry diving to fix this issue. An easier option would be to backup all your stuff and install Vista on a clean partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
