I was having the same problem. I went into the MSAS
console and went to options/settings/real-time protection
and enabled security agents and real-time on startup then
rebooted. I managed to get real-time to start. However,
I noticed that 2 of the application agent checkpoints
would not enable regardless of what I did. I finally
realized that I'd forgotten to disable anti-virus during
the installation of MSAS. I disabled my AV program, went
to control panel/add-remove programs and chose change on
MSAS. I went through the wizard as if I was upgrading the
product. I then went and reopened the console and FINALLY
victory...all agents and all checkpoints were enabled.
Hopefully this will help your situation. Just don't
forget to turn your AV back on.
Good luck.
