Ever since I installed Vista Ultimate, the Windows Defender has not worked.
The error that I get is "Windows Defender User Interface Has Stopped
Working". Google searches dont turn up anything nor did a search of about 4
different Vista newsgroups.

The service is started, is running and is set at automatic. The Windows
Defender problem details are below:

Any thoughts? All problem reports have been sent to MS, but no solutions are
available. Thanks.

If you have subscribed to Microsoft's Live OneCare, Windows Defender is
disabled. The function is included in Live OneCare.
 
I do not have a subscription to OneCare... should I get one to fix this
issue?

Looking at the event log entry it appears that you have an issue with your
video driver. The fauling module is GDIPLUS.DLL (which ships with Vista),
which suggests to me a video driver related problem.

What's the video card in the machine and have you installed the latest
drivers for it?

This is on my Dell e1505 laptop. The video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon
x1400. I thought that I had updated the driver, but will remove all all
video drivers and run a driver cleanup program. I will then download and
install the latest drivers to see if this corrects the problem. I sure hope
so. I guess if I would have looked over my log, I would have seen that file.
But thanks for the insight!
