T61p - Please wait while Windows configures Client Security Password - Manager

My T61p system is fully updated, however I continue to get "Please with while windows configures Client Security Password - Manager." and then the computer trys to install
css_manager_vista_tpm.exe
over and over again.
What is the problem here and how can I solve?
How can I contact Lenovo-Thinkpad to assist?
The problem has reoccured even after I did a system restore to an earlier date.
It seems to initiate when I first boot up and then open up "Pictures"
Please help.
Thanks

Well, I take everything back. After removing all password entries and re-installing/rebooting, it worked for a while. But now it is doing it all over again. I tried to call techincal support, but they then said I would have to pay for software support and they only support hardware, and to re-install the OS. Great, jeez, I couldn't have tried that myself, and that is so simple and takes no time at all (detecing sarcasm yet?)
I do a lot of work for large corporations that are watching the IBM=>Lenovo takeover very closely to see if they are going to drop Thinkpads altogether and go with another laptop vendor. This type of weak support does not bode well. The person I was on the phone with was rude, hard to understand, and even told me there was no place to escalate the call to.
There is no replacement for customer support. It is sad to see no Lenovo involvement in this forum, and don't make the mistake of thinking this is an isolated problem at this time. It is growing.
Though Thinkpads are great Laptops, Toshiba used to have the market, but their support or should I say lack of it led to their downfall and position of leadership loss.
It will be no different if Lenovo continues to act like a machine churner.

  • Please Wait While Windows Configures Trusted Drive Manager

    Sometimes when I get an email with an attachment and try to open it I get a message that says "Please wait while Windows configures Trusted Drive Manager". It is annoying to see this and I'm not sure how to get rid of the message. Thank you for
    your help.

    Thanks for the link.  Software that comes with this computer doesn't have the Dell Protection since it is a work computer. 
    Hi,
    Both the error message and the event log were all pointing to Trust Drive Manger.
    Consider it happened to certain attachments, I suspected that there might be some feature of those attachment triggered this alert, like file type or something. So could please check what
    these attachments had in common.
    Meanwhile check if your PC is one of the models below:

  • Launching VB6 Editor after installing Visual Studio 2013 results in "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio..."

    I have had various versions of Visual Studio installed beside Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise for some time with no problems, most recently Visual Studio 2012 Premium.
    I recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Premium, and now every time I open VB6 I get a dialog that says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013" that shows a progress bar. After it finishes (30 seconds or
    so), it launches again and again and finally VB6 will open. This happens with each instance of VB6, regardless if I've already done it once and never run VS2013 in between.
    If I cancel the dialog, I get this error message in a dialog: "Error 1712. One or more of the files required to restore your computer to its previous state could not be found. Restoration will not be possible." Several more "Please wait"...
    dialogs will appear and if I continue to cancel, eventually I'll get the VB6 editor. It appear to work fine despite the error messages.
    It seems to me that the VS2013 installer flagged some dll's or other files to be rolled back whenever starting VB6. It doesn't appear to be necessary, and I'd like to avoid playing the "Please wait" wack-a-cancel-button game before launching each
    instance of VB6 (or waiting several minutes for no reason). So how do I fix this?
    Note: I've seen something similar happen in Outlook on a different PC when upgrading from 2010 to 2013. The same sort of "Please wait"... dialog would appear each time I opened Outlook. Judging by the "similar" questions that popped up when
    entering this forum post, I'd say this is a general problem with upgrading older versions or installing newer versions of major Microsoft software side-by-side.

    I found the answer!
    I was having the exact same issue, and I was search for a solution and I happened across the following thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f4b0fd38-f4f9-41ea-bd8d-834203a175d2/building-visual-studio-2010-project-triggers-please-wait-while-windows-configures-visual-studio?forum=vssetup&prof=required
    Scroll a small bit down, and there is a post by Barry Wang explaining that you need to use event viewer to find out what is missing. Anyway, I opened event viewer, then open VS 6, then hit refresh in the event viewer (under Windows Logs -> Application)
    and saw a warning message from MsiInstaller. It gave me the following message:
    Detection of product '{9C593464-7F2F-37B3-89F8-7E894E3B09EA}', feature 'Visual_Studio_Professional_x86_enu', component '{E3FF99AA-78B9-4A06-8A74-869E9F65E1FE}' failed.  The resource 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC\' does
    not exist.
    I opened an elevated command prompt, I navigated to the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder and verified that 'URTInstallPath_GAC' didn't exist, and then I did "md URTInstallPath_GAC".
    Closed and reopened VS 6, and it instantly opened - no "Please wait" message.
    Now this may or may not be the same problem you are having (problem is - I have had it happen on two separate computers now with VS 6 and VS 2013 installed), but it should point you in the right direction. In fact, you should be able to use the Event Viewer
    for anytime the "Please wait" message shows up for any application, and then once there find out what is really missing.

  • ITunes 10.7 upgrade - 'Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes'

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.7, which I now regard as one of the poorest pc-related decisions I've ever made.  The time suck on this issue is massively depressing.
    Running Windows Vista.  Have completely uninstalled and re-installed (clean registries, re-boots etc) all iTunes and Apple products with no resolution.
    Every time I try to start iTunes I get a "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes" message on loop.  At some point it will usually default to "Checking iTunes Library" and then both that and the installer will run in tandem.  When I look at Task Manager it seems to indicate from the amount of memory usage that iTunes is in fact running in some form or at some level, but it does not actually open the program.
    When I reinstalled yesterday iTunes opened right up (after the install it did not ask me to reboot the system).  When I restarted the system this morning the problem was back.  Just installs and installs and installs ...  Doesn't actually open.  Wouldn't any registry conflict/problem have been fixed with the clean reinstall? 
    I've tried every solution/trick/suggestion I can find with internet searches. No luck.  This has been a month now.  iPhone and various iPods completely inaccessible re content and that really hammers home the danger of relying on a closed system like this.  Really disappointed in this situation.
    Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

    I am using iTunes 7.1.1

  • Each time I have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''. i recently Upgrad to 9.0.2. i already uninstall and install.
    pls help me.
    thank you in advance .

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.
    The iTunes desktop shortcut is an "advertised shortcut". When you click it, the first thing it does is check the iTunes.msi and determines (against the installation database in there) whether or not there's any files and registry entries and whatnot for iTunes missing on your PC. If it finds something missing, it'll do a repair install of iTunes, which is the "configures" message you're seeing.
    As to why it's always doing it in your case, and fixing it ... we'd better first work out if there's real damage to the iTunes stuff on the PC or if the shortcut/itunes.msi/registry machinery is just a bit confused.
    Apart from the "configures" message you're getting every time you launch iTunes, is it working okay? Are you able to sync, play music, use the Store and so forth without any trouble? Or are you getting other problems as well?

    I kept getting the following message in red on my Windows 7 Dell Computer so I did everything the help sites told me to do and nothing helped.  I got rid of all HP files and the problem went away.  I ordered the CD software for my HP C7180 printer and when it came, I loaded it to the PC and guess what, the problem came back.

  • After upgrade to 10.0.1.22 - "please wait while windows configures itunes"

    Hi all,
    After successfully running iTunes without problems including version 10, I routinely upgrade to the latest version 10.0.1.22 and all of a sudden now I keep getting this "please wait while windows configures itunes" dialog with a status bar before the iTunes application properly launches. Once its up, its functioning fine, but its annoying to get this dialog and status bar every time I use the application. What can I do? I tried a repair install and it didn't do anything.

    There's no trace of any other itl file on my PC
    Are there any files /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries/ ?
    guess this means I won't see my apps and music again
    Just because they do not show in iTunes does not mean they ar enot on yoru computer.
    Besides, you do make regular backups of your computer correct?
    Look in /Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ for your apps and /Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/ for everything else.
    If they are there then iTunes menu File > Add folder to library and select /Music/iTunes/ .

    Thanks Claudio,
    But if I remove Adobe Reader traces, then this means I am removing Adobe Reader XI, right?
    I need Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.x becuase I have its license, and I need its functionality.
    I had to install Adobe Reader XI, becuase I found annoying problem with Chrome browser, everytime I open PDF inside Chrome, I get prompt from Chrome that I must install the latest version of Adobe Reader. This prompt is so annoying to the extent that sometimes the PDF does not open at all, or it will cause unwanted display related resutls.

  • Visio 2013 startup problem "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio..."

    Hello,
    I am getting the "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio Professional 2013" window on every load of this program. I have found no resolutions from Google searches.  I have tried a full reinstall of Visio, registry modifications
    (per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685120?wa=wsignin1.0), tried running it in safe mode (still happens), tried a clean boot (still happens). I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi,
    Try the following method:
    If you have an earlier version of Visio installed, such as Visio 2003 or Visio 2007 or Visio 2010, follow these steps:
    1.In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then select Run.
     In Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run.
    2.Type the following command, and then press Enter:
    reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
    3.(Optional) Instead of typing the command line, you can  copy it to your clipboard, right-click an empty section of the Run box, select Paste, and then press Enter.
    4.Verify that the problem is resolved.

  • I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes

    I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes...
    It started this afternoon, I thought nothing of it and reinstalled itunes again and that seemed to have fixed the problem, but the problem has reoccurred.
    I've done a bit of research on how to fix for example going through to the regedit and changing the pcast Permissions etc but this hasn't helped at all, if anything Its made things worse because I cant uninstall itunes now.
    Please can anybody help me.
    Cheers

    If iTunes launches eventually then it's simply a matter of the installer not having correctly updated the shortcuts.
    Delete the shortcut to iTunes on your desktop and, if you have them, in the recently used/favouite applications area of the start menu and/or quick launch menu. Use the main *All Programs > iTunes > iTunes* icon to start iTunes. Copy this icon out to your desktop and/or quick launch menu if required.
    If that still doesn't work, create a new shortcut from the file at C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe and replace all existing shortcuts with the new one.
    If iTunes won't start at all then you have another problem that I'm thankfully (at least for me) not familiar with...

  • Why must I "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" again and again?

    I have just allowed the automatic settings to update my iTunes. The last time this happened it meant that the icon left on my desktop would not simply START iTunes, but instead went through the entire installation process all over again. Someone gave me some good advice and I was able to make the correct changes - it stopped and I have enjoyed it since.
    This time, every time I click the icon, I must "please wait while Windows configures iTunes".
    So, how do I fix this one?

    Just adding my voice to a long and growing list of unhappy iTunes users who by now have spent hundreds of thousands of unproductive hours searching for a solution. My guess is that the latest iTunes install package (as with those for earlier versions of iTunes) fails to update the registry properly. It's possible that Apple is not responding becasue it hopes many of us will give up on Windows nd buy an Apple Mac (Jobs is sounding more and more like Gates did 20 years ago). Let's see a little more grace from Apple and a solution before the cows come home.

  • ITunes 7.2: "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" on every startup

    I am running into the some issue. With all of the problems everyone else is running into with the 7.2 install - I am happy that this is all I have going on - but it is getting irrating. EVERY time I start iTunes I get the windows installer starting with the "please wait while Windows configures iTunes."
    I have uninstalled, used a reg cleaner, reinstalled with 7.2.0.35. QT runs without issues. I am not sure where to go from here.
    When I ran the install - i had the windows installer create a log. I found the following error in it:
    Action start 13:15:02: AppSearch.
    Info 1402. Could not open key: HKEYCLASSESROOT\pcast. System error 5. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    Action ended 13:15:02: AppSearch. Return value 1.
    I ran the installer as Administrator so permissions should have been covered.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I’ve tried the indicated solution and it didn’t work. I gave full permissions for Administrators, my user (which is an Administrator) and Everyone, for every single key and sub-key. It didn’t work.
    Then, I deleted the .pcast. When I opened iTunes again it came back without the permissions again.
    How long it will take for Apple’s programmers to correct this garbage? I’ve read several forums where people reformatted their computers to make it work again. This is simply unbelievable! I’m using the last version (7.4.2.4). I’ve found people complaining since version 7.2.x.
    Ah! I forgot. Of course, the problem is the Windows Vista.
